about
I am a strategic Product Designer with extensive experience, currently specializing in healthcare and telehealth solutions. I create user-centered designs that simplify complex information, enhance accessibility, and deliver intuitive experiences for diverse user groups. Passionate about design as both a craft and a mindset, I believe successful design follows such tenets as design with purpose, empathy is foundational, form follows function, collaboration is core, and design is never done.
My other passions are travel and animals of all kinds. I have been all around the world and always seem to find the resident animals in every country. You see here the mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda and the penguins in Cape Town, South Africa.
Design with Purpose
Good product design starts with a user-first mindset, solving real problems for real people while aligning every decision with product and business goals.
Empathy is Foundational
Building successful products requires a thorough understanding of the user through research, observation, and listening. It should be inclusive, consider diverse backgrounds and be accessible.
Form Follows Function
Usability takes precedence over aesthetics, but quality is non-negotiable because polish is part of the experience, not decoration added later.
Collaboration is Core
Cross-functional collaboration should be the default, partnering with product, engineering, research, and stakeholders. Collaborate to prevent misalignment and foster collective ownership.
Design is Never Done
Design is inherently iterative. Always design, test, learn, repeat. Continuous improvement means constantly asking "How could this be better?"
