👋 About Me
I’m a UX Swiss Army knife—ready to tackle complexity, uncover user insights, and bring order to design chaos. Design is at the heart of everything I do, and I firmly believe that good design starts with defining the problem. This clarity drives me to transform complicated platforms into seamless, intuitive experiences that leave users wondering if I can solve all their problems (coffee makers included).
With expertise in UX strategy, design, and research, I approach every project with empathy, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. My leadership and collaboration skills, combined with a passion for innovation, help bridge the gap between user needs and business goals. From championing research-driven practices to crafting comprehensive design systems, I ensure solutions are not only effective but also meaningful.
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!
