Nurocor
VP, Product Design · Clinical development
Vice President of Product Design for the Nurocor Clinical Platform — software that turns clinical trial protocols into structured digital systems. Led product design across study design, protocol authoring, and workflow tools used by pharmaceutical teams. Partnered with product, engineering, and clinical experts from research through launch. Built design practices for a complex B2B platform: information architecture, usability, and a shared language between design and engineering. Mentored designers and kept the product readable for people who live in protocols, schedules, and standards.

Stova
Director, Digital Experience · Event technology
Head of Product Design for the next generation of Stova products. Led the design team, partnered with product, engineering, and marketing, and ran the work from research through launch. Built and maintained design systems, ran usability testing, and kept products aligned with accessibility, security, and compliance. Mentored designers and pushed for a culture of craft and continuous improvement in event tech.
Check-in App
Staff mobile app with a clear path through check-in, live counts, and organizer analytics.
Event App
Attendee rewrite shown around CES: way-finding, speakers, networking, and custom widgets.

One design language across three companies — tokens, components, Q&A, chat, sessions.
Digital Experience
Led design from research through launch, with accessibility, security, and compliance in the work.
Attendee Check-in App
Figma · Zeplin · Storybook
Mobile app for event staff. The existing tools had outdated UI, cluttered data, and inconsistent navigation that made check-in history hard to read. We designed a clear path through the process, real-time attendance counts, per-event customization, and analytics so organizers could see patterns and act on them. Staff and organizers gave positive feedback; the app continued to evolve with the industry.
Attendee Event App
Figma · Zeplin · Storybook
A full rewrite of the attendee experience, shown around CES. Organizers can brand the app with their logo, color, and imagery. Attendees get way-finding, speaker interaction, and networking based on shared interests, plus widgets they can add or remove to shape their own event journey. The aim was to surface the right content at every stage of the event, with a modern UI that was easier to move through.
Stova Design System
Figma · tokens · components
Three companies under one design language. Shared principles, components, and patterns so products felt like one brand instead of three. The system cut inconsistency, sped up the work, and gave design and engineering a common set of pieces to build with — inputs, buttons, Q&A, chat, sessions.
