I design the surfaces people use when they are already stressed: a patient app that refuses to show numbers, a clinician dashboard that can, and maps and marketplaces a non-designer can finish a task in. Computer Science degree, User Experience Design minor.
Case Studies
Each case study moves from the problem to the flow to the interface, with the decisions about what stays off the screen written down.
Safebite: A food allergy app that filters every restaurant menu by the allergens you pick once, and counts “may contain” as a no.
WIND Marketing: An agency homepage where the type is the picture, and the next click is obvious.
Pippa, for patients: The patient app is a companion, not a chart. Every screen is checked against one rule: it must not make eating feel like a score.
Pippa, for clinicians: The dashboard is the opposite tone of the app: dense, specific, and allowed to show the numbers the patient must not see.
SupperSquad: An iMessage add-on that takes a group’s restrictions and returns restaurants everyone can eat at.
HerdRight: A catalog for a domain with its own language. Semen and embryos are different objects that had to browse as one.
Neighborhood Finance: A map for loan-program staff. Search an address, see the zone, understand the color without a legend scavenger hunt.
What I Design
Information Architecture: Who sees which fact, on which surface. Patients, clinicians, and families get separate views, not one screen with fields hidden.
User Flows: Log a meal, pick a safe restaurant, check an address against a zone. Short tasks, designed around the anxiety that surrounds them.
Interface Design: Quiet type, obvious primary actions, and language that does not punish. Designed in Figma, judged in the shipped product.
User Research: Discovery with 229+ clinicians and 200+ diners. I design from what people repeat, not from what the first meeting applauded.
Mobile Apps: Native-feeling iOS and Android flows, iMessage extensions, and gamified loops that reward care instead of restriction.
Dashboards: Dense, specific clinical and operational views with engagement graphs, logs, and controls over what each audience can see.
Selected Results
WIND Marketing: Designed a homepage where the headline is the layout, the primary action is Start Your Campaign, and the offer is three numbered blocks.
Pippa: Designed a two-sided product used by 10K+ patients daily and 200+ clinics, with zero calorie figures anywhere on the patient surface.
Pippa discovery: Turned 229+ clinician conversations into a roster, a patient chart, and a family view with hard visibility boundaries.
SupperSquad: Talked with 200+ people about group dining with allergies and moved the whole flow into the iMessage thread where the decision already happens.
Neighborhood Finance: Replaced a manual eligibility check with a map staff can search and update themselves, saving the client $100,000+ a year.
HerdRight: Collapsed two record types into one browse model for a marketplace of 30K+ buyers and sellers.
FAQ
What tools do you design in?: Figma for flows, wireframes, and interface files. I also build in React and TypeScript, so a design can go from file to working product without a translation step.
Do you do user research yourself?: Yes. For Pippa I ran discovery with 229+ clinicians, and for SupperSquad we talked with 200+ people before designing the group flow.
How does the UX design minor show up in your work?: It is why a streak that shames someone counts as a failed interface even when the metric goes up. I design for the emotional state people are in when they open the product.
Can you work with engineers on implementation?: I have a Computer Science degree and have shipped the products I designed, so handoff comes with an understanding of the data model and the constraints.
What kind of role are you looking for?: Product or UI/UX design roles on teams building software for people in stressful moments: health, finance, safety, and marketplaces. I am based in Chicago.
