Product Designer & Illustrator with 6+ years of Events, Operations & VC industry experience.
About me
I work at the intersection of events, operations, and user experience design. I love improving the systems behind operations: making workflows more efficient, communication clearer, and complex environments easier to navigate.
Over the past six years, I’ve worked across venture capital operations, events, and cross-functional project coordination, helping teams improve internal processes, build clearer workflows, and create more effective stakeholder and user experiences.
My legal background trained me to work with complexity, ambiguity, and high-stakes decision-making. It taught me how to identify root problems, manage competing stakeholder priorities, and create structure in environments where precision matters. Combined with my experience in operations and design, this allows me to approach projects not just as logistics, but as complete systems and user journeys.
I’m particularly interested in projects related to technology, innovation, sustainability, venture capital, and community-building, especially where strategy, operations, and experience design intersect.
Alongside my operational work, I also maintain a creative practice in illustration and visual storytelling.
