I'm a former developer who fell in love with UX, which means I design things that developers can actually build, and I speak both languages fluently.

I’ve handled the complex challenges of in-house design and the fast-paced demands of a consultancy. The common thread is healthcare, which is where I did most of my work and learned that empathy is something that sets me apart.

I love taking something good and making it great.

I have a well-rounded design skillset (research, UX, UI, AI) and tend to wear many hats.

While I am very good at pushing pixels, I focus more on outcomes.

OUT-PERFORMING AN AGENCY

OUT-PERFORMING AN AGENCY

As an in-house designer, I once out-designed a premium UX agency and saved our company over $100K in fees (6 weeks into a 12 week engagement).


The agency’s first round of mockups were subpar, yet they presented them as examples of strong UX. I produced better designs to show our team that we needed to raise the bar on our expectations for the user experience.


Shortly after, I became the design lead and took over the project, while the agency was informed that they were no longer needed.

This platform was so successful that it became the foundation of a startup providing reporting services for Wendy's and other franchises.
