I’m currently a Service Designer at Aledade where I design across frontstage and backstage experiences and products to enable independent primary care practices to succeed in value-based care.

My design career began in marketing and communications, crafting impact-driven campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. Seeking a public sector focus, I combined content strategy with co-design at the University of Chicago’s Ci3 Design Thinking Lab where I used participatory and equity-focused methods to develop a platform offering of digital and analog products aimed at advancing adolescent sexual and reproductive healthcare models. I adapted this approach in my next role with the federal government where I was a Design Researcher and Strategist at The Lab at OPM. There I collaborated with federal agencies to reimagine and improve services and programs for the public.

I thrive in complex, bureaucratic spaces, navigating competing priorities and perspectives. I also have a range of experience moving across design phases and adapting methods for the context, bringing a flexible, strategic, and collaborative approach to every project.
