About

I work across design and frontend development, moving between Figma and production code on the same client projects. Building the thing I designed changes how I design the next one, so I try to stay on both sides of that line.

So far I've shipped frontend improvements to a live client product, fixing interaction defects and modernizing older UI, and I'm building new B2B credit limit review features from the first designs through to implementation. The team is growing, so I've also been helping work out how we organize design and development, including how work gets handed off and which conventions we hold in common.

For five years I owned product design and frontend direction for an AI analytics platform, sitting between design and engineering for the whole product lifecycle. The work I liked most was the interface for an agentic analysis product: an LLM-generated report with custom data visualization, plus a conversational interface for digging into the results. Traditional UI patterns don't hold up well in conversational AI, so a lot of the job was working out interaction models for things like streaming output, uncertain answers, and actions the agent takes on its own.

The rest of the job was systems work. I turned a fragmented UI into a reusable component system built on design tokens, then maintained it as production React and TypeScript, with accessibility and interaction fidelity treated as requirements rather than finishing touches. Figma had no support for variables yet, so I built token export and import tooling against its API to keep design and code working from one source. I also set up design to development workflows with product owners and engineers, which cut down handoff loops and made design decisions easier to follow in code.

I was at Spartan for six years, starting in marketing and moving into design. As Marketing Coordinator I worked on UX and product design with the core team while looking after the company WordPress site and its server infrastructure. I took over design in 2017.

After that I built a design system from scratch for medical device software in a regulated environment, covering components, documentation, and Storybook. I designed and built high fidelity prototypes and production interfaces for diagnostic software and training products. Because the environment was regulated, my design documentation fed into FDA 510(k) submissions and anything I shipped had to be HIPAA compliant. I also built and maintained a customer support portal and the corporate site on a headless CMS, working directly with engineering, management, and executive leadership.
