Experience Designer

I'm passionate about creating intuitive experiences that help the way users interact with a product. I believe in clear communication, insightful interactions with co-workers, and sharing ideas that drive creativity. I have created digital experiences and products for brands such as SVB, American Red Cross, Tolteq, & the Getty Museum. For over 10 years, I have built design systems, defined ways of integrating brands within products, and enhanced the user's experience across many platforms.

Building and Scaling a Design System

Building the design system for a large company was no small task. It required meticulous cataloging, a big-picture perspective, and a focus on specifics. Our aim was to create an enterprise design system to achieve a consistent look and feel across multiple web pages, products, and design teams.

Site Wide Search Experience

As the Lead UX Designer, I collaborated with the design and development teams to identify pain points in the existing search experience, set out to create an experience that prioritizes accessibility and information finding, and worked through technical constraints related to the CMS used for the website.

New Client Intake Form Experience

As the Lead Designer, I was responsible for redesigning the new client intake form experience to reduce cognitive load and friction caused by the lengthy form and lack of motivation to complete all the required fields. The goal was to improve the form goal conversion rate and enhance engagement with personalized content.

Volunteer Intake Action Manager

The American Red Cross needed a tool built from the ground up that would allow them to manage their new volunteers efficiently and effectively. This was a very involved process that required many rounds of discovery and information gathering.

Docent Wordpress Site and Custom Scheduler Tool

Custom Wordpress site for their docents to use are their main source of information, communication, and scheduling.

Web Application for Monitoring Drilling Data

Design an application that would allow users to monitor oil drilling data more efficiently and effectively.

Volunteer Management SaaS
