Nice to meet you!
I’m a product designer and front-of-the-frontend developer with over a decade of experience creating thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences.
What I Love
- Designing web apps: I thrive on solving complex UX challenges and crafting intuitive interfaces.
- Building design systems: I enjoy creating systems that ensure consistency, scalability, and accessibility across teams and projects.
- Developing brands: Few things are as satisfying as a well-executed logo redesign and a cohesive brand identity.
- Writing scalable CSS: Clean, maintainable code that brings designs to life is one of my favorite things to write.
- Collaborating across teams: I love working with diverse groups—designers, developers, product managers, and clients—to bring ideas to life and create solutions that truly meet user needs.
What I Do
I’m currently the design lead at GivingData, where I design products, build and maintain the company’s design system, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver a seamless user experience.
Our platform serves over 99,000 users and 165 foundations, facilitating more than 29,000 grant payments worth $4.9 billion in 2024 alone.
Designing at this scale has taught me the importance of crafting flexible, user-centered solutions that grow with the product and its users.
Outside of Work
When I’m not designing, you can usually find me:
- Hiking: Exploring new trails and reconnecting with nature.
- Cooking: Perfecting the art of pleating homemade dumplings—equal parts craft and comfort food.
- Learning new languages: Practicing Spanish and diving into Chinese, always looking for new cultural connections.
- Hanging out with my cats: My husband and I share our home with a small, mischievous army of lovable feline companions.
Let’s connect! Whether you’re here to chat about design or just say hi, I’d love to hear from you.
