Putting People at the Heart of Design
👋 About Me
I design with heart first, skills second. I genuinely listen to users' struggles, joys, and unspoken needs before touching a single pixel. Where others see complex problems, I see people needing compassion. My work translates human stories into interfaces that show real consideration for the humans that use them. Not just functional, but, emotionally resonant.
Think of me as the rainbow bridge between business goals and customer needs. I specialize in creating experiences that make people feel seen, valued and understood. With expertise in UX strategy, design, and research, I approach every project with empathy, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.
What Defines Me
My experience spans B2B, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries, where I’ve helped create user-centric solutions for diverse audiences. I’m driven by the challenge of designing experiences that make world class solutions. These are my core qualities:
Holistic Approach: From research and strategy to UX/UI design, I bring a well-rounded skill set to every project.
Team Player: I thrive on collaboration between design, development, and product to craft seamless user experiences.
Code-Savvy: My understanding of coding bridges the gap between design and development, ensuring smooth execution.
Champion of Accessibility: Inclusive design isn’t optional—it’s a responsibility I prioritize in every project.
Passionate Mentor: Guiding teams and fostering growth is as fulfilling to me as delivering impactful designs.
My Journey
At MMIT, I had the incredible opportunity to champion UX maturity across the organization while leading a team. Leadership recognized my contributions in establishing a formal research practice, empowering product teams with insightful personas, and standardizing user experiences across business units through a design system. It was especially rewarding to see our work contribute to the launch of lifesaving drugs.
Before that, at Life Science Connect, I focused on improving the usability of 20+ B2B websites while also designing tools that made work easier and more efficient for my colleagues. Knowing these tools aligned with real user needs and made a difference for both customers and internal teams was one of my proudest achievements.
At AmeriHealth Caritas, I led projects that redefined how the organization communicated with users. By redesigning the corporate website—resulting in double the user engagement—and launching an award-winning journal, I demonstrated the power of thoughtful design. Additionally, developing a scalable intranet for thousands of employees reinforced my belief in design's ability to enhance both connection and efficiency.
Early in my career, at Advertising Specialty Institute, as a web designer/developer, I contributed to a massive migration project for 500+ e-commerce websites for B2B product distributors, designed responsive templates on a content management system, and helped mentor team members along the way.
Beyond Work
While I push creative limits professionally, I pursue personal growth through fitness, wellness, and outdoor adventures. On weekends, you’ll likely find me hiking in nature, perfecting Cricut designs, or spoiling Maple, my real-life grumpy (but lovable) cat.
Feel free to contact me to discuss potential collaborations. I look forward to hearing from you!
