I design products from the first round of user research through launch, working closely with engineering and product teams. On small teams I often run the project too, so timelines and handoffs stay on track.
A live project dashboard connected to Slack, Google Drive and email. Claude turns our standup and client meeting transcripts into draft tasks that I approve. It's now the template for future client dashboards.
21 health metrics matched to how Apple Health, Fitbit and Google Fit measure and label them, so device data can fill the same screens once syncing launches.
I led the homepage and navigation redesign for a Buddhist community's members' portal, starting with a member survey and working through the information architecture, a mega menu and the visual direction.
I handled the research, copy and build for a counselor's website. A review of eight therapy sites shaped a redesign that puts booking in the first screen.
New subscribers were cancelling before their first order. My first tutorial design failed usability testing, so I switched to a carousel, which shipped and became the model for later onboarding.
I'm a product designer with a background in psychology and user research. I like to talk with users before I design anything, and I stay on a project through handoff and launch, keeping clients and engineers in the loop. I use AI throughout, mostly for research synthesis and for checking designs.
Read the full storyI pick the method based on what the team needs to decide, whether that's interviews, a survey, usability testing, or a card sort. Then I share the findings in a form product and engineering can act on.
Information architecture, user flows, wireframes, and prototypes. I try to make complex systems easy to move through, and I design to WCAG standards so interfaces work across devices.
I use Claude for research, project planning, and content development, and Claude Code to build and refine designs. Most of my recent freelance work has been with AI startups, where I manage projects and design AI products.
Scoping work, running timelines, and translating between what clients ask for and what the team builds. I have led projects solo and inside cross-functional teams.
Open to full-time, part-time, and contract roles.
