Founding Designer & Member of Technical Staff at Traversal
I'm passionate about building software, systems, and spaces that enable people to achieve more.
I've spent 13 years building world-class experiences across high growth organizations, series round startups, and enterprise teams. Most recently, I'm the Founding Designer and Member of Technical Staff at Traversal, an AI SRE platform and frontier lab. Previously at Atlassian, Instabase, JLL, Northern Trust, and Accenture.
My approach to design, collaboration, and success is rooted in communication. Effective communication is the foundation of a successful experience, conveying ideas in a way that can be understood and acted upon. It enables interaction and engagement through a shared language, fostering alignment.
My background spans strategy, design, business, marketing, and engineering. I earned a BFA from Savannah College of Art & Design, focusing on interactive design, brand strategy, and creative direction. Additionally I hold +8 certifications through the Interaction Design Foundation & Scrum Alliance.

On Building Craft Excellence
The work always matters, but the how matters more.
Simplifying is the bedrock of innovation and its limiting factor.
Launching and learning is the goal; don't get trapped in loops.
Momentum compounds in all directions, always.
Send the ladder back down as you climb and train.
Craft excellence demands balance of obession and perspective.
