About
I bridge design and engineering —
so intent survives the handoff.
I'm a UX/UI Designer and Front-End Developer with 10+ years of web experience, the last seven at VSP Vision on the Eyeconic eCommerce platform. My work sits at the intersection of design systems, component architecture, and accessibility-compliant front-end implementation.
I design in Figma and build in code — taking projects from mid-fidelity wireframes through stakeholder review and into production without losing intent at the handoff. That hybrid ownership is where I do my best work.
I'm deepening my work in design systems and AI-assisted design and engineering. I've completed 14 certifications and courses across IxDF, Anthropic, Designlab, and Udemy — including Anthropic's Claude Code in Action — and my team won 1st place at our internal hackathon (Sep 2026) with lumen-vision, a Claude-based benefits-guide assistant.
