Product Designer

I create experiences & build products that help people.

Some other facts about me:
My goal as a Product Designer is to create solutions that leave a positive impact on people and the environment. When Iā€™m not designing you can find me by the ocean, or on the hunt to find my next coffee spot. I love being a foodie, but I also love learning new skills and reading. I believe that the best way to learn & be challenged is by the people you surround yourself with.
Nature & People are 2 of my biggest inspirations.
