Hi there! I'm Shea – your friendly neighborhood product designer!
My mission? To make things suck a bit less and genuinely make people's lives better.
My UX journey began in a coding bootcamp, where I was learning to build websites and mobile apps when I discovered my true passion: empathizing with users and and finding ways to make their lives simpler and more enjoyable. That love for problem-solving led me to an internship at Interapt, where I climbed the ranks to Lead UX/UI Designer.
Since then, I’ve tackled a wide range of projects, from healthcare apps to smart appliances, collaborating with industry leaders like GE Appliances, Kindred Healthcare, US WorldMeds, and Humana. My work has shaped how people interact with technology, and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to create experiences that don’t just meet expectations—but exceed them.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me immersed in macro photography, watching movies with my husband and our cats, or dreaming up new ways to use my design skills to make life just a little more awesome. Let’s make something amazing (and user-friendly) together!
