Product Designer focused on accessible, scalable UX/UI and design systems that ship with developer-ready handoff.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Designer who turns complex requirements into intuitive, accessible digital experiences. Across contracts and client work, I focus on UX/UI, information architecture, and visual hierarchy to help users quickly find what they need.
Recently at CivicPlus, I designed and delivered 1,000+ municipal webpages using Figma design systems. I translated complex content into page layouts, created wireframes and component-based UI that stayed consistent across large-scale sites, and strengthened accessibility through WCAG compliance reviews and color-contrast refinements.
Previously at Reverence Global and Patmos Library, I designed and maintained responsive WordPress websites, landing pages, and promotional materials. I partnered with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to convert business goals into polished, user-friendly experiences—improving usability through iterative layout work and responsive best practices.
I bring a strong production mindset: I prepare production-ready design files, assets, and documentation, and collaborate closely with developers for accurate handoff. My toolkit combines user-centered design principles with UX research fundamentals, allowing me to design, validate, and iterate with clarity.
