Hello, it’s Cara 👋🏻

Product Designer with 5+ years of experience specializing in complex enterprise SaaS — turning sophisticated business logic into intuitive, scalable workflows that real users depend on daily. I operate as a design lead within cross-functional product trios, owning decisions from early discovery through post-launch iteration, and bringing together user needs, technical constraints, and business goals into coherent product direction. 

I thrive in ambiguity. Whether untangling a gnarly data dependency system, redesigning a planning workflow for Fortune 500 marketing teams, or defining interaction patterns that hold up across edge cases — I bring both the strategic thinking and the craft to see it through. 

Outside the work itself, I mentor emerging designers and teach UX fundamentals, which keeps me sharp and grounded in first principles.

Former professional athlete — I bring the same discipline, coachability, and competitive drive to every team I'm part of.
