Hi I'm Harper!

A designer and ex-cheesemonger who believes every great product has a thoughtfully crafted story behind it. I'm drawn to the full arc of that process: digging into what people need, making sense of it all, and using that newfound knowledge to craft experiences that feel authentic.

That interest first started behind a cheese counter. I spent years reading people, asking questions, and turning the unfamiliar into something approachable and exciting. Whether it's a cheese pairing or a user flow, a great experience comes from genuinely understanding your audience first. I bring that same curiosity and rigor to every project, and I'm always looking for the question I haven't asked yet.

Also, I still give good cheese recs and make a killer cheese board.
