I've designed for Sony PlayStation, Navient (Earnest), and Adobe — and spent the last 5+ years helping startups, agencies, and growth-stage brands turn complex problems into clean, high-performing digital experiences. Whether it's a website that needs to convert better, a mobile app that needs to feel intuitive, or a design system that your team can actually build from — I work end-to-end, from early concepts to developer-ready Figma files. What I bring to every project: A BFA in Visual Design from USC, sharpened by real-world work across Finance, Gaming, Healthcare, Education, and eCommerce. I've designed 80+ screen mobile apps, built component libraries and design systems, led UX audits that directly improved conversion rates, and delivered landing pages in under 48 hours when deadlines were tight. I don't just make things look good. I think about how users move through an experience, where they drop off, and what it takes to keep them. If you have analytics — heatmaps, funnel data, scroll depth — I use them. If you don't, I bring a structured audit framework that surfaces the same insights. A few things clients consistently flag in reviews: fast turnaround, clear communication, and designs that hold up when they hit development. 100% Job Success Score. Top Rated Plus. Available now. If your project needs a designer who can think, execute, and deliver — let's talk.
