What I'm looking for

I'm looking to solve complex product problems with users, engineers, and stakeholders—turning dense data and messy workflows into useful, accessible digital experiences.

I've built Intrepid Studios' first design system, redesigned its account experience to increase engagement 35%, and created internal operations tools that cut manual support workload 40%.

Across MedeAnalytics and independent client work, I turn complex healthcare data, business goals, and user needs into actionable dashboards, conversion-focused websites, and polished web and mobile experiences. I partner closely with users, engineers, and stakeholders, using research, prototyping, and AI tools to move quickly while keeping human judgment at the center.
