Board governance software serving nonprofits and healthcare organizations. Complex permission models, document management, and multi-organization workflows across a maturing platform.

Player / Coach
Leadership and hands-on contribution.
At Advarra, I built and led the UX practice while continuing as a direct contributor on complex product work. That combination — creating structure while staying hands-on — is what I do best.
I created department structure and practices, grew the team, and defined how design collaborated with product and engineering. At the same time, I remained the lead designer on the most complex initiatives: design systems, clinical research platforms, and legacy modernization.
The work that energizes me most is helping organizations bring clarity, structure, and momentum to complex products and teams.
