I help organizations design digital products and services that work for the people who actually use themโespecially when those systems are complex, mission-critical, or serve diverse audiences.
With 8+ years designing for government agencies (CMS.gov, HealthIT.gov, Social Security Administration), nonprofits, and SaaS companies, I bring user-centered design thinking to projects where clarity, accessibility, and systematic thinking matter most.
๐ฏ What I Deliver
UX Research & Strategy
โ User research: interviews, usability testing, heuristic analysis (50+ sessions for federal clients)
โ Service design and journey mapping for complex workflows
โ Data synthesis and pattern recognition (analyzed 2,500+ support tickets, identified 40% of root causes)
โ Accessibility audits and remediation (WCAG 2.1, Section 508, ADA)
Product & Interface Design
โ Information architecture and user flow mapping
โ Wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity UI (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch)
โ Design systems and component libraries
โ Responsive, accessible design for web and mobile
โ Agile/Scrum embedded team collaboration
How I Work
โ Thoroughly researched, well-documented deliverables
โ Proactive communication about blockers
โ Systematic solutions backed by user research
โ Clear scopes with regular check-ins
Specialized Capabilities
โ Government digital services and federal compliance
โ Salesforce UX, strategy & administration
โ Healthcare and service design
โ Accessibility consulting
๐ง Salesforce Design, Strategy & Administration
I bring user-centered design to Salesforce implementationsโbridging technical configuration and user adoption.
What I Offer:
โ Salesforce UX & product design: Custom interfaces, user flow optimization, usability testing
โ User adoption strategy: Change management, training materials, workflow design
โ Administration: Flow Builder automation, custom objects, reports/dashboards
โ Implementation support: Requirements gathering, stakeholder facilitation, optimization
I'm currently pursuing both Salesforce User Experience Designer and Platform Strategy Designer certifications (expected Q2 2026) with case study development.
๐ง My Approach
My process is rooted in systematic thinking and pattern recognition:
โ I identify non-obvious connections in complex data that inform better design decisions
โ I create scalable processes, thorough documentation, and clear design systems
โ I sustain deep focus on complex problems requiring detailed analysis
โ I make assumptions explicit through clarifying questions, reducing rework
I work best with clear scopes, written requirements, direct feedback, and autonomy with regular check-ins.
๐ค Ideal Projects
Great fit:
โ User research for complex systems (enterprise software, government, healthcare)
โ Product design requiring strategic thinking and detailed execution
โ Accessibility and inclusive design priorities
โ Long-term partnerships (3+ months) with embedded collaboration
โ Salesforce projects needing UX research, design, or workflow strategy
Not ideal:
โ Pure branding without research/strategy
โ 24/7 availability or instant responses (unless discussed in detail at the start of a project)
โ One-off tasks without clear scope
๐ AVAILABILITY
Current: 30+ hours/week
Hours: Flexible 8am-6pm CST (Minneapolis - GMT-6)
Regions: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, EU
I'm especially interested in part-time or project-based work with small teams or agencies that has potential to transition into a full-time, salaried position after an initial trial period (typically 3-6 months).

I'm a UI/UX Designer with 6+ years of experience creating modern digital products, SaaS platforms, responsive websites, and mobile applications that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and easy to use.
My work is centered around clarity, usability, and creating experiences that feel natural for real people. I enjoy designing interfaces that not only look polished visually, but also guide users smoothly through a product in a way that feels simple, organized, and approachable.
Over the years, Iโve worked on SaaS dashboards, internal business platforms, responsive websites, landing pages, and mobile experiences across a variety of industries. A large part of my work involves taking complex ideas or workflows and shaping them into interfaces that feel cleaner, lighter, and easier to understand.
I pay close attention to layout structure, spacing, typography, interaction flow, responsiveness, and the small details that influence how people experience a product. I believe good design should create clarity and confidence without feeling overly complicated.
Using tools like and, I create wireframes, high-fidelity UI designs, prototypes, responsive layouts, and scalable design systems that support both user experience and business goals. Iโm comfortable working closely with developers, product teams, and clients throughout the design process to make sure ideas translate smoothly from concept to implementation.
My experience includes projects across SaaS, marketing, nonprofit, education, and product-focused environments where usability, accessibility, and communication all matter equally. I enjoy working on products that need thoughtful structure, modern visual direction, and long-term consistency as the platform continues to grow.
Some of the areas I specialize in include:
โข UI/UX Design for Web & Mobile Applications
โข SaaS Product & Dashboard Design
โข Responsive Website Design
โข Design Systems & Component Libraries
โข Wireframing & User Flow Planning
โข Interactive Prototyping in Figma

โข Mobile App UI Design
โข User-Centered Product Experiences
I care deeply about creating design experiences that feel clear, calm and purposeful. I value open communication, reliability and thoughtful collaboration and I approach each project with attention to detail, adaptability and a genuine investment in creating meaningful work.

Most websites donโt fail because of design, they fail because theyโre unclear, outdated, or hard to navigate.
I specialize in website redesign and UI/UX design, turning underperforming websites into clear, modern experiences that guide users and drive action.
Most teams I work with donโt have a bad business, they have a website that doesnโt reflect it. It creates friction, confusion, and missed opportunities.
Thatโs where I come in.
I redesign and develop websites using WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, and Wix, combining strong visual direction with thoughtful UX structure and scalable systems.
My work sits at the intersection of design and development, allowing me to improve not just how a site looks, but how it functions, communicates, and evolves over time.
Whether itโs simplifying user flows, restructuring content, or building flexible CMS systems, the goal is always the same:
Create an experience that feels intuitive, intentional, and built to convert.
Core focus: website redesign, UI/UX design, landing page design, and WordPress/Elementor development.
Typical projects include:
โ Website redesigns for outdated or underperforming sites
โ UX/UI improvements to improve clarity and engagement
โ Custom WordPress & CMS builds for scalable content management
โ Conversion-focused landing pages
I often work with professional service teams, real estate businesses, and growing brands looking to modernize their digital presence.
I also offer quick website audits to identify whatโs not working and how to improve it.
If your current website feels like itโs holding you back, Iโm happy to take a look and share how Iโd approach improving it.

Youโll get an effective WordPress website designed and built to grow your business - by giving your visitors what they need while keeping your business goals front and center. Whether you want to increase conversions, drive sales, generate leads, or build trust and authority, Iโll get you there with a website that works.
I have 20 years of experience in web design and development (15+ specializing in WordPress), and Iโve spent much of that time helping entrepreneurs not just build websites, but also run and grow their online businesses. I offer more than just websites; I provide end-to-end solutions for running and growing an online business. From designing high-converting websites to setting up CRMs, email automation, payment systems, and marketing funnels, I bring together the design, tech, and strategy needed to make your business run smoothly.
Thereโs a strategy behind every custom website I design. I donโt just design websites that look good; I design with purpose: to serve your visitors, support your goals, and deliver measurable business value.
I base my website designs on proven, research-backed user experience (UX/UI) guidelines. With 20 years of design experience, I also draw from real-world user studies, including usability testing, eye tracking, and field and diary research. This means your website wonโt just look great; it will be effective: delivering a great user experience, guiding visitors with ease, and driving conversions by making it simple for them to take action with confidence.
I understand more than just the design side - I also know the technology and business side. Iโve helped entrepreneurs run their online businesses (including my own), so I understand how sales, marketing, and customer behavior all fit together. That big-picture perspective (knowing how everything works both on its own and as part of a larger system) helps me create high-performing websites for my clients.
