Hi, I'm Ash.
Balancing deep user advocacy with business-critical strategy. I specialize in untangling complex systems and delivering polished, scalable solutions that solve real problems, not just symptoms.
Transformed Xometry's fragmented returns process into an end-to-end RMA system, enabling customers to self-report issues and Case Managers to resolve them efficiently in one platform.
Xometry's first launch of Teamspace — a collaborative workspace enabling engineers, buyers, and procurement teams to seamlessly share quotes, place orders, and track manufacturing projects.
Ark.ai's Network Navigator — a graph-based intelligence workflow that transforms how SCRM Analysts uncover risks, surfacing hidden multi-tier vulnerabilities through interactive network visualization.
it's nice to meet you
I'm a product designer based in Pittsburgh, PA, specializing in user experience and user interface design for complex B2B systems. Empathy and curiosity drive my creation of thoughtful, human-centric solutions.
Currently working as a Product Designer at Govini designing mission-critical tools for defense analytics. You'll find me running field user research one day and architecting a design system the next.
My interest in UX started while pursuing a BS in Psychology at the University of Central Florida. A Human Factors course first introduced me to the intersection of psychology and design — I realized how powerfully external factors shape behavior and interaction.
Before transitioning to design, I worked as a research assistant in a mental health lab, honing skills in data analysis, participant empathy, and pattern recognition. Those experiences laid the perfect foundation for a research-driven approach to design.

01.
Great design starts with deep understanding. I prioritize listening to users — their motivations, frustrations, and unspoken needs — to uncover the real problems worth solving.
02.
Every design decision should be intentional and user-centered. I carefully consider context, needs, and constraints to create solutions that are both functional and meaningful.
03.
Testing early means learning fast. I use prototyping and usability testing throughout my process to gather real feedback, validate assumptions, and catch problems before they're costly.
04.
Design should drive measurable results. I focus on solutions that improve user experience while supporting business goals — better conversion, faster workflows, higher satisfaction.
