I’m a product designer with over ten years in the restaurant industry, where I learned what great hospitality really means—anticipating needs, solving problems fast, and creating memorable guest experiences. That background shaped how I approach design: with empathy, curiosity, and a focus on people.
Now, I’m bringing that hospitality mindset into product design—crafting intuitive, meaningful tools that help restaurants thrive. I’m inspired by Toast’s mission to empower the restaurant community to do what they love and grow together.
