I lead design for GoGuardian’s Safety & Productivity suite — including Admin, Teacher, Beacon, Org Management, and Discover — a family of products serving millions of K-12 students, educators and IT administrators.

My work spans UX strategy, research, and design systems. I partner closely with product, engineering, and leadership to define cross-product experience vision, streamline workflows, and deliver measurable outcomes that enhance student safety and educator efficiency.

Highlights:

• Defined and scaled the S&P Design System, unifying four products under one accessible framework. Result: +50% design & dev velocity, +29% QA efficiency, −30% bugs.

• Led the Reporting & Insights redesign, transforming data usability and improving perceived user value by 35%.

• Drove evidence-based product decisions through 50+ user interviews and multiple rounds of qualitative and quantitative testing.

• Collaborated with brand and accessibility teams to evolve GoGuardian’s identity and meet WCAG standards.

• Presented UX research and ROI to executive leadership, advocating for research, writing, and accessibility as strategic pillars.

• Mentored designers and PMs on user research, design systems adoption, and communicating design impact.

I worked across research, UX strategy, and UI design for enterprise clients in financial services and education. My goal was to make complex systems more human — connecting business outcomes to user insight.

Highlights:

• Conducted user interviews and usability testing for a retirement-planning product, increasing satisfaction by 15%.

• Built the company’s first shared component library, cutting design-dev cycles by 30%.

• Introduced lightweight design-research methods, helping PMs and engineers make more user-centered decisions.

I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to craft digital experiences and services for Fortune 500 clients. Over time, I progressed from apprentice to designer leading full-cycle projects — from research to concept to launch.

Highlights:

• Designed onboarding and retention flows for Microsoft Aspire, contributing to higher new-hire engagement.

• Created end-to-end digital experiences for ThreeInsure, a Berkshire Hathaway-backed small business insurance platform.

• Conducted user interviews, journey mapping, and ethnographic research that informed cross-channel service blueprints.

• Partnered with engineers and business strategists to translate qualitative insights into scalable, user-driven design systems.

I helped early-stage startups and small businesses bring their ideas to life through lean UX practices. I facilitated discovery workshops, built prototypes, and guided founders through user validation.

Highlights:

• Designed MVPs and clickable prototypes to help clients secure seed funding.

• Streamlined user onboarding flows that improved conversion and reduced support tickets.

• Partnered with developers to implement front-end design and usability testing in agile sprints.

Working in fast-paced kitchens taught me systems thinking, precision under pressure, and the beauty of iteration — all of which deeply inform my design process. I learned how small details shape experiences and how collaboration, communication, and timing create flow.
