Design philosophy

I design for how people actually choose, and try to leave out what gets in the way.

I work on complex consumer products where trust, clarity, and decision-making matter – from grocery and health to loyalty and creator platforms.

Currently

Designing for trust in grocery.

At Instacart, I'm working on Health & Meals – helping people shop with more confidence when dietary needs, preferences, and health goals shape what they can eat.
