More to come!

Firstly, thank you for visiting my website! I’m glad you’re here!

I have been hard at work the past four years as a Senior UX Designer at PowerSchool, leading UX on a number of our key initiatives including:

  • Using AI to transform the College, Career, and Life Readiness (CCLR) process for high school students

  • Managing our robust design system of 300+ components and being used by 25 different product teams

  • Creating a ‘single pane of glass’ dashboard experience for K-12 parents and staff that ties in a dozen different MFEs, eliminated the need for multiple logins to check important information like grades, school communications, and account balances.

With this exciting and busy workload, I have not devoted much time to this personal website. But I am actively working to gather designs and add detailed case studies.

In the meantime, if given the right opportunity to chat, I would be more than happy to walk you through some of my recent work, that hasn’t made it to my portfolio yet.

MyPowerHub: all-in-one solution for staying connected and informed

A single login, connecting multiple MFEs, that improves communication and engagement between K-12 schools and families.

Case study coming soon!
