hello!
Staff experience designer in NYC. Most of my career has been in healthcare, working on over-the-counter products, diabetes care, patient tools, and clinical workflows for clients such as Bayer Healthcare and Ascensia Diabetes.
I’m agency-trained, which meant shipping on client timelines and making the case for design decisions to people who weren’t designers.
I do my best work in close partnership with product, engineering, research, and content. A lot of my work happens on either side of the design itself. Before it starts, that’s strategy, getting clear on the business goals and what users actually need, then finding where they meet. After it’s done, it’s documented workflows and specs detailed enough that developers don’t have to guess. Accessibility goes in there too. I write contrast, hierarchy and alt text into the spec before anyone builds it. I’m a stickler for details, and just as picky about how they fit together, so the whole thing still holds up when someone moves through it start to finish.
Lately the work I care most about is the kind that lifts the team around me: mentoring, sharpening the process, and making handoffs less painful for whoever picks the work up next.
Agency work gave me range. I’d like to trade some of that for depth, one product and one set of users, long enough to see what my decisions actually do.
