Hi, I’m Christine

I’m a product designer and team leader based in the midwest, fresh from California, with experience delivering end-to-end UX/UI design solutions for digital platforms. Let’s join forces and make the internet more beautiful and user friendly.

Here’s why I can help, and how

An all-too-common scenario

Your application user or customer tries to interact with your digital product, growing increasingly confused and frustrated with the unintuitive design. They can’t easily see where they are, where they’ve been, or where they’re going. Eventually they give up, drop off, or simply don’t complete the intended task. A poor user experience like this scenario can limit adoption and retention—critical metrics for any digital product.

Here’s where I come into the picture

I combine technical expertise, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration to identify friction points and uncover opportunities. From there, I design intuitive, user-centered experiences that drive engagement, reduce churn, and support scalable long-term growth.

I bring a well-rounded background and experience across a range of design methodologies that support a thoughtful, end-to-end approach. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution, I adapt my process to fit the unique needs of each project, helping create experiences that are both effective and user-focused.

UX case studies

 
 

Mars Veterinary Health

Searching for records and taking action on them is time-consuming in our PIMS (Practice Information Management System). Our goal is to surface key details at a glance, let users filter by record type, and enable quick actions directly from the search screen.

This case study demonstrates my contributions through the entire design process, from discovery to delivery.
