Hey there!
Since you’ve arrived at this page, I’ll go ahead and tell you a bit more about myself.
What am I doing now?
I currently work as a senior product designer at Silicon Valley Bank, leading design across the payments scrum teams for the commercial banking SVB Go platform.
My work spans the digital product design space and I find fulfillment in being part of the entire process, from truly understanding problems to delivering the right solutions.

What’s my background?
I’ll start from the beginning (sort of)…prior to my current life as a product designer, I worked in Investment Banking and Asset Management firms where I did things like disclosing firm holdings in publicly traded companies and supporting equity and derivatives traders. Now, you might be wondering how I got into product design from this type of work. Well, it took a lot of soul-searching, networking and leaning into my unfulfilled passion for art and design. From a very young age, art has always had a large and special place in my life — whether I was watching my brother create architectural models, painting renditions of Georgia O’Keefe’s work, or spending hours in the printmaking studio in college.
