15+ years contributing to impactful experiences, interfaces and design systems.

I have a strong foundation for translating design intent into practical and scalable solutions, bridging gaps between design, development, content creators and more.  I bring a track record of successfully tackling complex projects and a passion for continuous learning to every team.

My Process

With a focus on users and content authors, I have built designs, systems, and flows efficiently using clear documentation and reusable components.

My commitment to accessible design, one color at a time

I wrote an article about the perplexing contrast effects that I observed with the color orange in Orange You Accessible (2019). This article helped the design community evolve accessibility standards. I am closely following the development of WCAG 3.0, which is expected to include expanded guidance on color contrast to include a wider range of colors like orange, and factors like font weight and sizing, alongside more sophisticated formulas for determining color contrast ratios.
