I came to design via health policy and economics, where many of the solutions for the broken health care system are very high touch and time-intensive. But while working in Silicon Valley, I began to see the potential that technology has to solve the same problems in a much more scalable way. I was intrigued.
​
Since then, I have worked for small startups as one of the first employees and giant health insurance companies on cross-functional teams. I have led user research on site in hospitals and clinics and online with patients and consumers. I have helped to launch new digital therapeutics and well as internal design systems.
During the pandemic, I built websites for a rising COVID-19 testing lab and private medical practice and I loved working for small business that were having a real impact on consumers. So I branched out into website design and build across other industries. I am now based in Seattle, WA, and as a Pacific Northwest Native, I love the rain just as much as I love not having to worry about sunscreen most of the year.
Outside of healthcare and design, my other obsession is found in aerial silks. I teach classes around the Seattle area and love helping my students develop strength, confidence, and body awareness through acrobatics and creative movement. You can learn more on my aerialist site.
About Me
My passion has been to make healthcare a better consumer experience.
But I love the impact of working with individuals and smaller companies.
