But professionally, I'm a Senior Staff Product Designer working as the design lead on Buyer Experiences at Etsy.
Currently, I'm the design lead for Etsy's Buyer Experiences, where I pay close attention to all work that impacts shoppers on Etsy in order to identify new opportunities in pursuit of a cohesive, high quality experience.
From mid 2017 to late 2020, I was the design lead for the Design Systems team, where my focus was on elevating the quality of experiences on Etsy (native and web) and maintaining consistency throughout our design and front-end engineering org.
Prior to 2017, I spent my first three years at Etsy focused on the seller experience, building products to optimize new-seller onboarding, simplify inventory management, and improve navigation throughout seller tools.
Beyond my product design work, I enjoy drawing vector illustrations and customizing typography for personal and professional projects. Check out a sample of that work here.
As one of two product designers at an early stage start-up, my work spanned product strategy, user testing, UX wireframing, UI design, and front-end development.
Check out a quick rundown of the work I did here.
My focus was on UI and UX design for client products and marketing sites, with a touch of front-end development and occasional illustration and type design.
Post-graduation, I spent my time developing my design skills and working for an assortment of advertising agencies and branding agencies before landing on product design as a direction of interest.
Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Business and a minor in Studio Art.
