11+ years designing enterprise software for Life Sciences, Pharma, and Finance. I ship the products, then build the design system that keeps them honest.

At Trinity Life Sciences I joined as the first product designer and grew UX to 3 senior designers plus 2 contractors across an 8+ product portfolio. I design software that is accessible, inclusive, and kind to the people who use it all day.
