Product Designer · 0→1 and complex systems

Product designer who is most at home in the messy middle — turning a fuzzy customer problem into flows people barely notice because they just work. I prototype early, test with real users, and sweat the empty states everyone forgets. I care as much about the spec a dev reads as the screen a user taps.

Selected work

Patient intake redesign

Reframed a 24-field medical intake form as a guided, save-as-you-go flow with plain-language prompts and honest progress.

Drop-off 38% → 12%; completion time halved.

Harbor design system

Built a token-driven component library with accessibility baked in, plus contribution docs so engineers could extend it safely.

120+ components; adopted across web and iOS by 5 squads.
