Followed by Kraig M, Deniz U, and Bram D

I started in a medical library, helping clinicians find research and building the infrastructure to keep it organized. Six years at Hagerty in Workday showed me the enterprise side: payroll, talent, compensation, and time tracking for 1,500+ people. I was often the person called when something wasn't working the way people expected. It turns out that's always an information design problem.

Now I run fwd design co, where most of my work sits at the intersection of health information and UX. I'm also building Mothering Together, a postpartum support app I designed and launched.

This fall, I begin a D.Sc. in Information and Interaction Design at the University of Baltimore, focused on health information design and systems literacy for women.
