Hello, I am a multidisciplinary designer and strategist.
With ten years crafting experiences in Healthcare, EdTech, and E-commerce, I balance usability, viability, and feasibility, with a focus on delivering measurable value to both users and stakeholders. By aligning human-centered design with clinical and organizational goals, I create solutions that are intuitive, drive adoption, and operational success. My early experiences in sales, graphic design, marketing and entrepreneurship have shaped how I have evolved as a design leader allowing me to empathize and create solutions for internal teams, stakeholders, and the users themselves.

Tara is great at taking complex tasks and turning them into delightful and intuitive user experiences.
She also excels in working cross functionally with product, SME’s, engineers, and upper management. If given the option I would hire Tara again
I saw her rise to meet the challenge of a rapidly growing digital business.
Her user focused solutions were critical to the department's success. She handled diverse & challenging interactions from training new hires, client consultations, to presentations to leadership regularly with ease.

I've directly worked with Tara, she's a highly creative designer with an eye for detail.
She constantly contributed innovative ideas in daily meetings and standups, and she was always looking for ways to help others on the team. She was a highly motivated coworker that I really enjoyed designing alongside.

From conversation design, voice user interface, small screens and prompt engineering my experience is in-demand.
