Design meets delivery

About Me

I’m a UX-focused designer and project leader in the Chicagoland area with a long background in front-end web development, graphic design, healthcare software support, and project management.

My work tends to sit where clarity matters: organizing complex information, improving digital workflows, building useful documentation, and designing web experiences that feel clean, fast, and approachable.

Clearfeather is rooted in hands-on design and development, with a practical focus on accessibility, product thinking, and work that can actually be delivered.

Capabilities

Skills & Tools

A blend of UX design, interface design, front-end development, visual production, and cross-functional delivery.

AI-assisted, craft-led. I use AI to explore, synthesize, and accelerate—not to replace design judgment, development experience, or ownership of the result.

Experience

Design depth.
Delivery perspective.

My background spans more than twenty years of design and web work, plus healthcare software support and project leadership. That mix helps me connect the experience on screen with the work required to build, launch, explain, and support it.

Where the range matters

  • Design: UX, interface, visual systems, and communication.
  • Build: practical front-end knowledge and developer collaboration.
  • Delivery: stakeholder alignment, documentation, training, and launch readiness.
  • Domain: long-term healthcare imaging software and workflow experience.
