About
I design healthcare experiences. My work lives at the intersection of clinical reality and product elegance, where the interface has to respect domain complexity without overwhelming users.
At Cincinnati Children’s, I shipped products used by 500+ clinicians that drove measurable improvements: faster observations, fewer errors, better data quality. I built their design system from the ground up, generating $228K in annual savings and 90% design consistency across teams.
Now at Axle Informatics, I lead design across a suite of NIH research applications. I work directly with federal stakeholders and researchers to translate complex workflows into intuitive interfaces.
I’m interested in behavior change, system design, and how thoughtful interfaces shape the way people work. I care about the details that make a difference.
