Human-Centered Systems Designer

I design systems that work
for real humans.

At the intersection of tech, wellness, AI, and lived experience — I turn messy, human problems into workflows, products, and experiences that actually fit people's lives. Whether that's software, operations, user experience, or content, the through-line is always the same: design for the human first, then build the system.

Technical projects, product thinking, and systems work — each one reflecting how I approach problems from the human outward.

About

"Most systems are designed for imaginary people with endless energy and perfect focus. I design for everyone else."

I'm a human-centered systems designer working at the intersection of tech, product, wellness, and lived experience. My work spans product management, operations, creative technology, and brand strategy — united by a single question: who does this actually serve, and what does it cost them?

I've spent years designing systems in fitness, wellness, and corporate operations — and I live in a body that requires intentional systems design just to function. ADHD, chronic illness, the need to architect my environment because I can't rely on inertia to carry me through. That's not a liability. It's the sharpest design lens I have.

What I've found: the principles are the same whether you're designing a business workflow, a software product, or a morning routine. Design for the human first. Then build the system around what that human actually needs — not what looks cleanest on the process diagram.
