About

I translate complex technical requirements into intuitive experiences that solve real problems for real people. As a Senior UX/UI Designer with an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University, I’ve collaborated with researchers, healthcare professionals, and corporate teams to design accessible, user-centered interfaces—from genetic data platforms to employee wellness resources. I’m driven by curiosity, thrive on partnerships with subject-matter experts, and focus on improving existing products to maximize impact. Key achievements include an NSF-funded genetic data platform UX redesign (87% increase in site visits and 376% increase in downloads), leading WCAG AA accessibility initiatives across multiple platforms, and delivering 20+ training sessions on content best practices to diverse stakeholders. I’m seeking mission-driven organizations (healthcare, nonprofits, B-corps) where I can apply stakeholder collaboration and technical versatility to solve meaningful problems. Let’s connect if you’re tackling complex products that make a real difference.
