I'm a Product Designer who came to design through communications, graphic design, and six years in specialty insurance at Ryan Specialty, a Chicago-headquartered firm. That background makes regulated, detail-heavy work in fraud, risk, and compliance familiar ground. I also trained in front-end development, so I design things that are practical to build. Today I'm the founding and sole designer at Dash Solutions, and I'm relocating to Chicago.
Staying active in my free time enhances my creativity and helps me maintain a balanced life. Outside of work, I value spending quality time with family and friends, enjoy attending ballet classes 🩰, indulging in my passion for food, running 🏃, practicing yoga 🧘, attending a Reformer Pilates class, and discovering local coffee shops while traveling.
My brand explained: At first glance, you will see my initials. If you take a second look, it resembles a rosebud.
The rose symbolizes love and passion, evoking deep emotions. As a Product Designer, these qualities are invaluable.
Love fosters care and empathy, while passion drives creativity and innovation. Together, they create captivating digital experiences that forge lasting connections with users.
The design was inspired by my grandmother and her love for roses.
I use the double-diamond approach, adapted to how product teams actually ship. This is what it looked like on Dash Defense.
I audit what exists against usability heuristics and WCAG 2.2 AA, then sit down with the people who do the job.
I turn findings into a prioritized problem list with Product and Engineering, so we agree on what matters before designing.
I explore in Figma, build interactive coded prototypes, and run usability and A/B tests until the direction is clear.
I fold decisions into the design system and hand off dev-ready frames with the reasoning behind them.
