About
Hello and welcome!Â
​
At my core I’m a problem solver. I really enjoy working on a team, nothing feels better than developing a product that meets requirements and flows seamlessly from kick-off to production.
Â
My brain loves creating structure and order, and adapting it to an evolving process. I also really value being in a position to support my fellow designers, whether it's creating team-wide structure or working with junior designers; I like being part of something and helping create a place where people feel supported, connected, and excited to do good work.Â
How I work
I thrive in collaborative environments, whether it be multiple designers working on a project or a 4-Box framework, maintaining good communication and working closely with team members just leads to better designs. How we work is ever-evolving, and the increase of AI has allowed me to explore ideas faster and create dev-ready prototypes grounded in design systems and technical constraints. At Experian, I built workflows connecting Claude Code with Experian's design system, Atlas, in Figma and Storybook, and adapted Product’s AI-generated concepts into complete, customer-focused experiences. AI accelerates my process, while requirements, creativity and judgment guide my decisions.
Experience
Experian
Lead Product Designer
February 2022 - November 2026
Lead the credit card and personal loan domains through complete redesigns, including onboarding and partner hand-off flows. I also created and maintained our Marketplace component library for cross-domain components that didn't belong in our global design system, including patterns, color tokens and Marketplace-specific tooltip copy reference guide (which doesn't sound impressive but saved everyone so much time). Lead our weekly design call focused on sharing in-progress and finished projects or testing, aimed at cross-polination across our products siloed teams.Â
HP Inc.
Senior Product Designer
May 2013 - February 2022
Originally hired as one of only two UX designers for the HP Smart app, the team grew to more than 20 and I worked on nearly every touchpoint relating to the HP printer experience - the app, the logged-out website, the logged-in portal/account website, HP services and subscriptions, branding, design systems, and CRM. I refreshed the outdated logged-in portal/account experience, I brought organization to their Services design group with a new design system (that was eventually adopted and integrated into our larger HP system) and I lead the first CRM design team, developing a process for working with partners and a design strategy and process for these touchpoints.
Kodak
Experience Designer
Aug 2009 - April 2013
The only visual designer working on the Kodak app, I was responsible for documenting the roadmap, visual updates and concepts and syncing with marketing and development so our products looked consistent and on-brand. I worked hand-in-hand with the Human Factors engineer to update every part of the Kodak printing app, including the on-boarding experience, image editing, printing and printer management.Â
GadLight
Junior Industrial Designer
Jan 2009 - July 2009
As a boutique product design agency, we worked in a fast-paced studio developing a variety of consumer products. Working closely with a UX researcher to conduct user-testing, we focused on analyzing behaviors as a source of inspiration. I delivered sketches and concepts and recommenced manufacturing processes and materials. Final deliverables included CAD files and specs.
