UX/UI & Product Designer | Former Production Operations Director
As a former specialty coffee employee, I spent many mornings watching people interact with products, spaces, and experiences before they'd had their caffeine, and let me tell you- that's some of the most honest feedback you'll ever get. After working my way up from barista to executive team member, I discovered that customer interaction is exactly what human-centered design is about.
My unique background combines:
Human-Centered Design & User Research: Ten years of hospitality taught me to read people, anticipate needs, and create experiences that matter, those skills directly translated into user interviews, usability testing, and design thinking
