I love designing complex workflows that make hard things feel simple — especially in high-stakes environments where good design directly impacts people's lives.
With 10+ years of experience across regulated industries including medical devices, financial services, and enterprise software, I'm deeply curious about AI-assisted design and how we build trust in AI-powered products.
Certified Usability Analyst and NNG UXD certified. Co-Local Leader of IxDF Minneapolis — excited to connect with fellow designers in the Twin Cities!
