What sets me apart
Curiosity as a source of judgment
My superpower is my curiosity. And that isn’t about chasing what’s new. It’s about building better judgment over time. I believe learning is an important thing as it changes how you decide—what to adopt, and what actually fits the problem in front of you.
That belief shapes how I approach design. I stay open to new tools, ideas, and patterns, but I’m deliberate about what I take on. I’m less interested in novelty for its own sake, and more focused on whether something holds up in real work and makes execution more intentional.
The Systems Strategist
I go upstream, so teams don’t fight the same fire twice.
I’m naturally systems-oriented - I instinctively ask the “but why” behind every issue. When a problem shows up, I look upstream for the assumptions, decisions, or incentives that allowed it to exist in the first place. While quick fixes can help ship under constraints, I focus on ensuring we’re solving the right problem, not just the visible one.
The Stabilizer
I take over when things scatter.
I’m rarely the loudest voice in the room, but I’m often the one who steps in when work starts to fragment. When a project begins to feel stuck, I’m usually the one who takes time to absorb context from stakeholders, then translates those inputs into something concrete the team can react to.
The Curious Builder
Learning compounds into intentional execution.
I treat learning as part of the work. Staying curious helps me make more deliberate choices - about what to adopt, what to ignore, and what actually fits the problem at hand. I’m drawn to new ideas, tools, and patterns, but I don’t chase novelty for its own sake. What matters to me is whether something improves judgment and execution over time.

What people I worked
with say about me
I worked with Elizabeth for 3+ years, both as teammates and as her manager. She continuously impressed me with her quality and efficiency of work. She is a capable and talented UX designer. Even coming into the team in a junior role, she was able to take ownership of large-scope projects, and quickly earned the trust and respect of our entire team, including other designers, engineers, product, and senior leadership. She was given increasing responsibility, including modernizing our entire web and mobile design system, and excelled. She aligned our company onto a set of primitive and semantic tokens, built a dynamic and responsive component library in Figma, and provided clear usage guidelines that enabled developers and product staff to rapidly develop on top of them. Even before AI we were shipping features every week on the back of this design system. Elizabeth is also a clear communicator and deep thinker. She thinks critically about work that is assigned to her, sometimes pointing out flaws in the assignment that end up shaping the larger product for the better. She advocated for clearer customer personas and participated in user interviews to help define those. She was also an early adopter of agentic tools, sharing early demos and prototypes she took initiative to produce with Figma Make and Cursor.

Elizabeth is a highly skilled product designer who takes ownership of her work. She actively learns about business goals and user intent, and consistently delivers thoughtful, high-impact UX solutions. Her work is the result of relevant research and experimentation, and she presents her designs clearly and persuasively. She welcomes feedback, but will defend good design decisions when appropriate. She self motivated, dependable, and a true pleasure to work with. I would gladly hire her again, given the opportunity.\

Liz's strength lies in design systems, but her thinking goes well beyond UI polish. She approaches problems with structure and clarity, balancing user experience, product goals, and scalability. As a designer, she’s detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture. Her feedback is thoughtful, and she collaborates closely with others to move things forward.
