About

Hey there, I'm Stacey! I'm a UX/UI Designer in the healthcare space. I began my design career after completing a UX bootcamp during the pandemic, so I know what it's like to transition into a new field, build a portfolio from scratch, and search for mentors who can help you grow. That experience eventually came full circle when I became a teaching assistant and mentored aspiring designers as they navigated their own journeys. Whether you're breaking into UX, building your portfolio, or looking to become a more strategic designer, my goal is to create a supportive space where you can ask questions, think through challenges, and leave with greater confidence and practical next steps.

How I can help

I help aspiring designers navigate the following: - Breaking into UX/Product Design - Resumé and portfolio feedback - Visibility at work and building the right relationships - Thinking beyond UI and becoming more strategic - Framing design decisions around user and business outcomes - Communicating effectively with product managers and engineers - Leveraging AI to support your design workflows
