ABOUT
Hi, I'm Heather
I am a data-driven product designer specializing in bringing complex B2B SaaS and AI products to life that drive bottom-line impact & customer delight. I have experience leading design initiatives at both small startups and large global corporations. I am most proud when I achieve a design with the right amount of complexity.
I am based in San Clemente, California, happily married with a little girl and a house full of plants. When I am not immersed in a creative project you may find me reading old newspapers, at early morning yoga, or finding furniture on the side of the road.
