Hey there, I’m Kim!
I’m obsessed with:
Crafting intentional experiences
Identifying simple solutions to complex problems
Incorporating accessible design practices
Collaborating with internal experts: Data scientists, Engineers and Developers, Sales Reps, etc.
My experience is focused on in designing for experiences that surface actionable insights for data rich software, typically serving high-skilled users.
My portfolio is undergoing iterative updates, so please excuse the mess!
There may be some oddities depending on what day and time you happen to be lurking.
A little about me….
Industry Experience
I’ve wiggled pixels around in Cybersecurity, AI, Financial tools, Education, Non-Profits, Construction, E-Commerce
Things I do
User Research
I translate real user behavior into actionable insights through thoughtful research planning, interviews, and usability testing. In research, my goals are to bring clarity to complexity and ensure the user stays at the heart of every design decision by marrying their needs to business goals.
Ideation + Design
I design with a responsive mindset, in both screens and strategy. From rapid ideation to polished prototypes, I flex across fidelity levels to deliver experiences that adapt, scale, and delight (no breakpoints needed).
Design System Tuning
I build, contribute, and iterate om scalable, component-based design systems to bring structure, consistency, and trust to the customer. Bridging the gap between design and development helps teams can move fast without breaking things (or stylesheets).
