Biography
I’m a designer passionate about creating meaningful, human-centered experiences that make healthcare more accessible. At Epic Systems, I help shape the UX strategy behind patient-facing tools like MyChart, where thoughtful design decisions impact the daily lives of over 180 million users. My background in ethnographic research and heuristic evaluation fuels my approach — blending data, empathy, and creativity to uncover what people need and translate that into elegant, intuitive solutions. I love connecting the dots between user insight and design strategy to build products that genuinely improve how people live and heal. Though I started as an artist, this site expresses a breadth of projects that has led me into a world of illustration, product, and UX design.
