Heya, I’m Steph!
I simplify complexity, creating impactful and efficient user experiences grounded in design thinking and strategy ♡
//Mini Bio
I’m a Product Designer based in Atlanta, GA (originally from New York), currently freelancing with clients in healthcare, entertainment, and gaming. I believe in blending creativity with strategy to design resonating solutions and collaborating with clients to ensure every project delivers real value.
I began my design career in 2018, freelancing as a visual designer for four years before moving into UX/UI. In 2022, I landed my first UI role at a fintech startup, participated in hackathons, and transitioned to a full UX designer within a year.
I ranked in the top 7.4% nationwide in UX at IBM’s Accelerate Program and was selected for Dribbble’s pilot freelance program, thanks to my work in the 2022 Daily UI Challenge.
I earned an Associate in Web Design and Development from Champlain College (ranked #12 in game design) and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Valdosta State University.
//Product Design
As a UX Designer and Product Designer, I’ve worked on over 100 digital products, serving as the sole designer for various websites, apps, and games. Through these projects, I’ve achieved impactful results including:

Simplifying financial management tracking for actors by 75%
Transforming a corporate multipage site into a seamless single-page experience
Designing UI for multiple indie games, reaching niche audiences of over 23,000 players
