ABOUT ME

Clarity within every experience.

“The best experiences feel simple because someone took the time to understand the complexity.”

Beyond the workI’m fascinated by the deeper psychological patterns that shape human behavior—how people build habits, measure progress, and learn throughout their lives. Exploring these often-mysterious connections keeps me curious and helps me design experiences grounded in how people truly think, adapt, and grow.

ENTERPRISE UX · CONTENT DISCOVERY

Content Management Platform

Problem Statement: The Home Depot’s creative teams struggled to find existing website content, determine what could be reused, and make the updates needed to publish it again. When relevant content was hard to locate, teams spent more time searching or recreating material, slowing down routine updates across The Home Depot’s websites.

Project type: Marketing Technology and Content Creative Teams

Background

The content management platform supported teams responsible for publishing and updating content across Home Depot websites. These teams needed to coordinate publishing schedules, make quick edits, access content in one place, and manage editing permissions.
