Hi, I’m Steph.
I’m a versatile and driven Product Designer and Startup Advisor helping teams take ideas from 0 to product.
Inspired by the human behind the screen
I’ve been designing professionally for 8+ years in fast-paced startups across eCommerce, AI-powered grocery delivery, and content-based health & wellness products.
I’m currently focused on product-led growth initiatives and helping teams build or build upon sustainable design frameworks to create consistent and easy-to-use experiences.
My guiding principles
-
I’m not afraid to think outside of the box, ask a lot of questions, and make things happen with little direction
-
Clarity, quality, and accessibility over aesthetics
-
In partnerships, I seek understanding and speak directly with courage and respect
-
Autonomously own and and push work forward, while being proactive in finding solutions

Hanna Tyson - Manager
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Steph in her role as a Senior Product Designer for the last 2 years. Steph is outstanding; her expertise shines through her exceptional strategic partnership with product management, seamless collaboration with engineering, keen ability to deftly respond to feedback from senior XFN stakeholders, and of course in her consistent delivery of strong UX/UI work. Steph is proactive in identifying and addressing gaps, is a very "safe pair of hands," and models a growth mindset (enthusiastically tackling new challenges, welcoming feedback, and constantly putting effort into up-leveling herself as a designer leader). Her positivity, flexibility, and consistency make her an invaluable partner for both the product team and all cross-functional stakeholders. Any team would be exceptionally lucky to bring her on board.”
Sam Doyle - Lead Software Engineer
“Stephanie is wonderful to work with as an engineering counterpart. She is very thoughtful and diligent with her designs, and very clear in explaining details and the reasoning behind them. She also looks beyond day to day work and finds ways to improve processes that benefit the entire organization. She is very receptive to feedback and addresses unforeseen constraints masterfully, creating an atmosphere of open and effective collaboration. Stephanie excels in her role and brings out the best in those fortunate enough to work with her.”
Jeremy Pippin - VP of Product
“Steph is a fantastic user experience designer. Her work is of course beautiful, but her thought partnership is incomparable; arm her with context, and she’ll lay out options that are both elegant and perfectly optimized for the needs of the product. Hands-down one of my favorite people to work with.”
