Experience

Product designer with an researcher's instinct — I'd rather ask the uncomfortable questions than design around it. I thrive when I'm close to the problem and the facts behind it. I think visually and am committed to connecting every feature back to the bigger picture. I'm recognized for my explorative approach and thorough discovery. Currently at Cvent, Previously at Tinder.
