My design story

I grew up alongside the rise of social media. As a teenager, I spent hours on our family’s dial-up computer hand-coding HTML layouts to impress boys on my Open Diary blog. Twenty-some years later, not much has changed—except now I’m designing polished Figma layouts to impress clients instead.

Today, I’m a Product Designer at a public health nonprofit where I design community health products for high-impact partners such as the CDC Foundation, UNICEF, de Beaumont, Kaiser Permanente, Moderna, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and multiple state health departments including Minnesota, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York.

Across 35+ website launches, I’ve helped transform our digital design workflow—elevating quality, improving accessibility, and reducing the need for outsourcing by building modern, scalable, brand-driven experiences. With expertise in UX, visual design, and accessibility (Trusted Tester certified), I bring clarity, empathy, and efficiency to every project. I’ve also stepped into leadership and QA, mentoring direct reports, strengthening design-to-development processes, and contributing to a more collaborative, innovative team culture.
