Happiest in the space between make it beautiful and make it work

Graphic-design roots and 7+ years building accessible, interactive experiences for the web — with an eye for the details most people scroll right past.

About

So, what's your story?

I started in graphic design, fell for the web, and learned to code so I could build the things I was designing instead of handing them off. Seven-plus years later I still do both — that overlap is the whole point.

Where'd you spend those years?

Healthcare, mostly. The kind of work where clarity isn't a style choice — real people need to find a doctor or make sense of their coverage, and getting it wrong has real consequences.

It's where I learned accessibility for real: audited, WCAG-compliant work, not a checkbox. "Clean and clear" isn't the safe option to me — it's the job.

And lately?

I've been building end to end. Most recently a voice-controlled math game for my kids — shipped in React andTypeScript, with a custom native plugin so it runs on-device and keeps their audio private.

I care most about the seam where design meets code: making things that are beautiful and buildable, and sweating the small interactions most people feel but never notice.

What are you after?

A team with a product worth caring about — where design and engineering aren't at odds, and the details matter to someone besides me.

Things I've made

Zapmath

voice-controlled math game · web + iOS

A flashcard game my kids play by speaking their answers out loud. Three on-device speech engines and a custom native plugin, so it works across browsers and iOS without sending a child's voice to anyone's server. React, TypeScript, tested end to end.

Fox Family Electric

marketing site · design to deploy

Designed and built end to end for an electrical contractor: clean, fast, accessible, and simple for a small business to keep current. Astro, with a real CI/CD pipeline behind it.

Provider Directory Search

interaction design · dual-mode search

A hospital physician directory that only let you browse by specialty — so if you didn't know the specialty, you opened every accordion hunting for a name. I hit that wall myself during data cleanup, then built dual-mode search: filter by specialty or by name, in real time, auto-expanding the right groups so results keep their context.

Before that

enterprise healthcare

Seven years designing and building healthcare web properties: responsive rebuilds of legacy sites, a reusable swipeable-card component library shared across three properties, an interactive hero slider, and WCAG-audited accessibility work throughout.

Say hello

I'm looking for a product team to build with — one that cares about the details as much as I do. If that's you, reach out.
