About

Designing intuitive, consistent product experiences

I’m a senior UX/UI designer with 20+ years of experience designing and building web, mobile, SaaS, and healthcare software. Focused on delivering intuitive and accessible software and web applications, with a strong emphasis on enhancing user experience through the thoughtful integration of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence.

A detail-oriented professional who embraces innovation and continuous learning, leveraging cutting-edge tools and methodologies to collaborate effectively with teams and craft visually appealing, user-centric digital solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern product development.

My background in healthcare software (FDA 508-cleared products, patient monitoring systems) has taught me that good design is invisible. It reduces cognitive load and lets users focus on what matters. Whether it's an enterprise dashboard, a mobile monitoring app, or a design system that scales across products, I approach every problem with the same rigor: understand the users, define the constraints, and iterate toward the simplest solution that works.

"My strongest work sits at the intersection of product design, frontend collaboration, design systems, and clinical workflow complexity that ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and aligned with business goals."
