About

Student designer, Minneapolis-based.

I am a college student and product designer focused on thoughtful digital products for real family life. Outside design work, I spend most of my time balancing school, sports schedules, and time with family and friends.

I bring a student mindset to every project: ask better questions, test quickly, and refine details until the experience feels clear and human.
