I design digital products and experiences that accelerate cultural and environmental transformation to create resilient and fairer futures for people and the planet.

My juiciest design skills are product, UX, UI and brand design. Infused with a pragmatic, optimistic and research-based approach, my experience supports genuine and fearless ideas seeking planet-loving and transformative change in our everyday lives. As a designer, facilitator, and design lead, I have teamed up with countless fellow creatives, startups, businesses, and NGOs over the last six years.

When the screens are off, I am usually working out outdoors, training my patience through sewing, or falling in love with the ocean—over and over again—during my scuba diving adventures.
