EXPERIENCE
TopNotch – Boulder, CO (Remote)
UX/UI Designer & QA Analyst (Full-Time) | Jul 2024 – Oct 2026
- Led UX for SuiteGen and CheckGen, two AI-powered SaaS products that generate test suites and QA artifacts. Presented direction to the founder and developers to confirm feasibility.
- Built a USWDS-informed design system for a codebase that had none. Extracted tokens with Claude Code and Figma MCP, ending with 147 variables. Developers adopted it and said it makes design changes easier to implement.
- Redesigned navigation so users working with several companies can keep their work separated by organization.
- Led QA on four client products in telehealth, hospitality, and restaurants, writing and managing nearly 2,000 test cases. Gave client design teams UX and accessibility recommendations.
QA Analyst (Part-Time) | Oct 2018 – May 2023
- Tested 20+ shipped apps and sites across streaming, AR, advertising, lottery, fitness, and logistics.

Apr 2021 – Present
- Designing an end-to-end SaaS CRM for Convoco. Ran the first user interview and built the information architecture, high-fidelity prototypes, and design system components.

- Volunteer designer for FirstJet Air, a planned co-op airline. Designing a member portal and marketing site with developers. Stakeholders are building from my designs.
PROJECTS
CU Denver Financial Aid Redesign – Service Design Case Study
2024
- Ran 4 interviews and 20+ surveys. Built an ecosystem map, a journey map across five touchpoints, and a user flow.
- Reframed the problem around first-generation students, who enter a process that treats every student the same. Scoped to the university layer instead of federal FAFSA rules.
- Proposed four service interventions for communication gaps, redundant steps, and access to information. The CU Denver financial aid office gave positive feedback.
