I've delivered end-to-end mobile and web experiences for BrightInsight, Zemlia, Furniture Repair Bank, Labyrinth Technologies, and KV Associates. At BrightInsight, I shipped three WCAG-compliant mobile features for a diabetes management program serving more than 600 patients and helped reduce design-to-development coordination time by 50%.

As the first designer at Labyrinth Technologies, I built foundational design processes, a component library, and standardized interfaces for Cacti, an AI-powered iOS photo vault. My work contributed to a 300% increase in first-time downloads while I also led feature development, roadmap work, monetization strategy, and marketing website redesign.

I'm energized by turning research, user needs, and business goals into clear product decisions through Figma, prototyping, usability testing, design systems, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.
