About me

 

I’m a product designer with 12+ years of tech startup experience spanning healthcare, B2B SaaS, education, ridesharing, consumer services, and nonprofits. I consult for early startups and businesses of all sizes to create products that delight customers and drive business growth.

I’m currently the Lead Product Designer at Frame. Previously, I was a Senior Product Designer at Elation Health, the first product design hire at Lambda School, and worked at Uber, City CarShare, and CalEPA.

I have a Master of Interaction Design from California College of the Arts, M.A. Sociology, and B.A. Ethnic Studies and Human Biology from Stanford University.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me illustrating short stories or exploring the East Bay with my husband and our dog Megatron 🐾 Want to know more about my journey to design? Read my Medium post or my interview with Talented Recruiting.
