A product designer with 8+ years of experience building thoughtful products across healthcare, enterprise SaaS, startups, and consumer brands.

Whether I'm designing enterprise software or building my own brands, I'm driven by the same goal: creating products people love.

Building my own brands has given me a unique perspective on designing products from concept to customer—balancing user needs, business goals, and real-world feedback every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Carlie:
