Product Designer who simplifies complex systems and ships user-focused solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Product Designer focused on simplifying ambiguous problems and shipping clear, trustworthy consumer-facing product flows. I bring strong taste and strategic thinking to design systems, rapid prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable user-facing impact.
At Porter Airlines I founded and governed a 0→1 design system, delivered 31 production components, reduced design time by 20%, and led design for Flight Status and Travel Alerts experiences that achieved exceptional task completion and satisfaction metrics. I’ve also designed responsive email systems, real-time operational pages, and data-driven user engagement features.
My background spans travel, cybersecurity, and healthcare where I’ve improved task completion, clarity, and user confidence through thoughtful IA, real-time data design, and structured iteration. I prototype quickly, partner closely with engineering, and document design work for scalable, accessible product outcomes.
