A Product Designer based out of Longmont, Colorado.
Hi, I’m Sarah
What sets me apart as a Product Designer is my foundation in software development and systems engineering, combined with recent experience in AI and product ownership.

I began my career as a developer, then expanded into QA and systems roles, giving me end-to-end insight into the software development lifecycle. This technical fluency allows me to bridge the gap between design, engineering, and strategy.
In recent roles, I’ve led the design and product direction for AI-powered tools in the public sector—owning backlogs, writing user stories, and coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver thoughtful, scalable solutions. I enjoy prototyping in HTML and CSS to test ideas beyond Figma, and I’m always ready to dive into code or complex systems to ensure design clarity and impact.
