I design interfaces that are clear, accessible, and built to actually ship — with a focus on healthcare UX, design systems, and the handoff between design and code.
My background sits at the intersection of visual design and front-end thinking. I came up building things — so I understand what it takes to hand off a design that developers can actually implement. That informs everything: component structure, spacing systems, edge cases, states.
Lately I've been drawn to healthcare and clinical UI — spaces where accessibility isn't a checkbox, it's the whole job. WCAG 2.2, cognitive load, high-density information architecture. I find the constraints clarifying.

Redesigned a neurologist-facing clinical dashboard with accessibility-led design as the core constraint. Focused on high-density data visualization, keyboard navigation, and WCAG 2.2 compliance in a high-stakes diagnostic environment.
Led UI design for an enterprise business valuation tool. Translated complex financial workflows into a structured, navigable interface — balancing information density with clarity for non-technical end users.
Personal project exploring a complete design-to-build workflow — from Figma component library through front-end implementation. Documented token decisions, responsive behavior, and component API patterns.
A growing collection of web, app, print, and wireframe work. Images and write-ups added as projects are cleared to share.

Open to full-time and contract roles. Prefer remote or fair hybrid near Southeast Wisconsin. If you're building something in healthcare, accessibility, or design systems — I want to hear about it.
