As a user-obsessed designer of interfaces, interactions, and instructions, I make software more accessible to more people. I thrive in self-directed yet social company cultures where inspired leadership empower capable talent to design, debate, and decide.
Experience
Across roles in UI/UX, product management, and instructional content, I have 15 years experience designing and documenting digital products, with 12 of those years in healthcare.
Design Director
- Built and documented first ever design system in 15+ years for mature SaaS product.
- Migrated marketing website from no-code platform to in-house servers, reducing annual cost by 35%.

- Designed visual branding, including modular logo, custom CSS to augment Bootstrap, and UI color palette.
UI Design Student
During my job search, I studied to earn a certification in user interface design with a specialization in front-end development. I needed to build upon a career working on legacy enterprise web apps by seeking opportunities to design for mobile and industries beyond my niche with healthcare.
I completed one major project (see case study) and paused the course due to the demands of working with Above The Rest Cabins.

I have curated a career balancing product design with content communication. Teams should be integrated not siloed. I generalize to empathize. Content is substance. Content is design.
