I wear many hats and enjoy them equally.

UX/UI Design
Asking the right questions, trying stuff out, and learning how to improve.

User Research
A blend of qualitative and quantitative research methods to inform decision-making.

Branding
While form should follow function, it's important to remember that visual design impacts value perception.
At
GroupVisual.io, I applied data visualization, behavioral science, and storytelling to solve critical UX and business challenges for healthcare and life sciences companies.
At the
Broad Institute, I led product design for the Data Donation Platform, which enables multi-modal data collection for rare disease research.
Since 2014, I have helped study teams design and build over 15 studies across rare disease, cancer, and autism spectrum disorder, and my designs have shaped the experience of over 400k patients and families internationally.
In addition to my experience in humans subjects research, study design, and patient engagement, I have consulted with enterprise teams across industries to make internal tools more actionable and intuitive. By blending user experience best practices with data visualization hueristics, I work with prod/eng teams to build workflows that help users get the job done.
Each year I look forward to peer-reviewing the UXPA Boston conference presentation proposals. After several years of participating as a reviewer and conference attendee, I decided to face my public speaking fears and presented
"Delivering Data with Care" to a well-attended crowd. The talk covered my journey to create a system of narrative data visualizations that deliver research results back to
SPARK study participants. I shared seven actionable take aways from the process, including using recognizable visual metaphors for your intended audience, as well as the trade-offs of templatization.
