Hey, I'm Steph.
I’m a designer and former frontend developer, and I’m passionate about building thoughtful user experiences.
Who am I?

Design Technologist
I work closely with Product Ownership and Engineering to ensure the design system is being built to our best capabilities, then translated into code beautifully and effectively. Communication is key!
UX Advocate
Not just a designer... I'm an advocate! I'm passionate about user-centric design that's backed by data. I use a variety of research methods to create thoughtful, pressure-tested, end-to-end design systems.
UI Designer
I love to be hands-on in the design file, bringing UX insights into the tools themselves (usually Figma). I work with other designers to ensure brand guides and design principles are being adhered to closely.
Human + tech
I love working on digital products because the entire process, from idea to outcome, is an orchestra of humans and technology. As a designer with a background in frontend development, I’ve been lucky to help shape the way technology affects people – and how people influence technology.
I strive to always be an advocate of the design systems I create and work within. This means being vigilant about how they can be affected by user and stakeholder goals, while also ensuring they’re communicated properly to the engineers that bring them to life.

I also write about design, development, and my experience working in tech.
Behind the scenes
When I’m not working, I’m usually doing something nerdy. I’ve been known to go outside from time to time, though my natural habitat is typically indoors next to a big window surrounded by tea, animals, and art supplies.
Recently, I’ve been experimenting on platforms like Youtube and Twitch. My goal is to better understand the creator experience and how they’re shaping web and tech.
