I am a senior product design lead based in the Washington, D.C. area, currently serving as a Product Design Manager at Guidehouse. I lead and mentor a UX team while overseeing the full product design lifecycle—from discovery and research to evaluation and development support. My work centers on creating human-centered solutions that align user needs with business goals across the federal grants management lifecycle. I lead through collaboration, continuous learning, and a culture of innovation, leveraging deep expertise in user research, design thinking, and cross-functional partnership to deliver meaningful, high-impact digital experiences.

 

My academic background includes a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a second Master’s in Industrial Design. This multidisciplinary training gives me a deep understanding of how to craft intuitive, engaging user experiences. During my HCI program, I worked as a UX researcher and designer at Phone2Action and continued contributing after graduation. I’m passionate about UX research and understanding how people interact with digital products, which fuels my commitment to designing solutions that meet and exceed user expectations.
