I’m a product designer tackling healthcare’s biggest challenges—

I design experiences that have a tangible impact on people’s lives and reshape the industry.

Case studies

Haven

Mobile Application

Haven is a mobile application that ensures no one ever faces a breast condition or cancer alone. Recognizing the feelings of isolation that come with a diagnosis, Haven helps people feel seen and supported on their journey through peer-to-peer support. A friend who knows exactly what you are going through is within the reach of your fingertips.

 

Greenhouse Studios

Responsive Website

Greenhouse Studios is an interdisciplinary research unit at UConn. My team and I redesigned their website to create a clearer picture for our audiences of who Greenhouse Studios is and what they do. We achieved this by highlighting their research methods, core values and origin story through an approachable and engaging UI design, as well as understandable language.

 

The Real World

Web App

The Real World is a web app that teaches high school and college students about financial literacy through situational gameplay. This project transformed an in-person simulation into a digital experience.

 

Design Strategy

Social Media & Project Management

My team and I overhauled Greenhouse Studios’ social media channels and devised campaign strategies to increase engagement and awareness of Greenhouse Studios in the UConn community and beyond.

 

The Quiet Corner

Photography

Tucked away in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut, stands a 19th century farmhouse, which is lovingly referred to in my great-grandmother’s handwriting on old yellowed family photographs as “Down The Hill”— her childhood home. One-hundred years ago, this house and its surrounding acres contained an entire world of dreams for my great-grandmother, Dena McCarthy, who was coming of age during the Great Depression.

 

In the Studio

Project Management & Creative Direction

As a studio director for photographers Abelardo Morell and Laura McPhee, I helped steer the creative direction of their studios and manage their photographic projects with partners such as National Geographic, The New York Times, Dana Farber, Vornado Realty, Renaissance Press, Abrams Press, Nazraeli Press, Yoffy Press, Kris Graves Projects and more.
