Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a UX researcher turned Product Generalist who helps early-stage teams turn ambiguity into clarity and momentum. I thrive in spaces without playbooks, where creating my own structure and fast learning matter most.

With a background in psychology and a Master’s in Human-Centered Design, I’m drawn to understanding the systems and relationships between people, products, and the environments they shape.

I help early-stage teams make sense of ambiguity, align around what matters most, and ship thoughtful products we can feel proud of.

What I bring to early-stage teams:

And I’ve always been passionate about psychology, so you can usually find me reading books about how humans think, feel, sleep, move, and be in relationship with one another.

Some of the recent books you’ll see on my Goodreads:

  • The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin

  • All About Love by bell hooks

  • Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

  • The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate
