Hi, I'm Helen!
I’ve always been curious about how people move through their day and the small moments where things feel harder than they should be. I started out studying nutrition and health, but I realized my real strength is in designing experiences that make life feel simpler and easier.
I studied UX at Cal Poly SLO and earned a master’s degree from USC in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology. Since then, I’ve focused on healthcare and wellbeing products, from launching a fitness tracker to improving platforms used by millions. I love untangling complex systems and turning them into experiences that actually make sense, especially in healthcare, where thoughtful design can reduce stress and have a real impact on people’s everyday lives!
Designing with intention
Rooted in empathy
I focus on understanding user needs and frustrations, to create designs that truly meet their needs. Empathy brings clarity to the real problems users face and guides every decision for meaningful impact.

Built through iteration
Design is never done. I believe in continuously evolving ideas through real user feedback, testing, and performance data. Each iteration is an opportunity to refine clarity, simplify flows, and improve usability.

Centered on simplicity
I simplify complex workflow systems into clean, intuitive experiences. By reducing cognitive load and friction, I help users make faster, more confident decisions and resulting in smoother workflows with better outcomes.
