About

I'm Tina — a Designer based in Southern California, with roots in Boston.

I have 15+ years helping brands turn messy, complicated problems into experiences people enjoy. I love creative direction, building design systems that make teams' lives easier, and using tools like Figma and Claude to uncover problems and prototype—most of it in the fintech world, where "simple and trustworthy" isn't just a nice-to-have.

Beyond the work.

When I'm not working, I'm probably covered in paint in my studio, elbow-deep in clay at the pottery wheel, or out in the garage bringing an old car or vintage motorhome back to life. I like making things — whether that's a design system or a 1978 RV.

Let's connect.
