About me

I'm a UX designer in Austin with three years shipping production interfaces at Love Is Human LLC, including a flow that lifted user retention by 25%.

I work best in the messy early phase of a project, before the problem is fully named. I'd rather sketch on a whiteboard next to an engineer than polish a Figma file in isolation, and I tend to push back when "cleaner UI" is being used as a substitute for clearer thinking.

Outside of design: native Italian speaker, autocross driver, and currently re-reading Jurassic Park.

Right now I am…
