Founder · Design Engineer · Principal Content Designer

Words that work.
Apps that handle life.

Over 14 years of craft, a cognitive-science foundation, and certifications that keep me current as the AI landscape shifts.


What I do

Content that guides and converts

Concept to governance for regulated products.

UX Writing
Product content that guides

Microcopy, flows, error states, and empty states for high-stakes, regulated journeys. Written for clarity, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), and conversion.

Content Strategy & Governance
Systems that scale

Reusable patterns, approved-language frameworks, terminology logs, and governance that hold quality steady as teams grow.

AI-Assisted Content
Faster, with judgment intact

Prompt engineering across Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. AI-assisted drafting and QA with human judgment on compliance and brand.

How I work
Accessibility first

WCAG 2.2 AA and plain US English by default, not retrofitted at the end.

Compliant by design

Writing alongside legal and regulatory review from the first draft, not the last.

Test the words

Microcopy and flows checked in usability research, not shipped on instinct.


Work

Over 14 years of UX/UI copywriting

Insurance, health, finance, and SaaS: regulated environments where words must be precise and the stakes are real.

About

Copywriter with a cognitive-science backbone

My writing draws on how people perceive, decide, and act. An MFA in Writing for Digital Media and a BA in Theatre and Cognitive Science let me pair behavioral insight with the rigor that regulated content demands, so the words hold up in a legal review and a usability test.

For 14+ years, I have led content for insurance, health, and SaaS products, including UX copy used by 12M+ people. I work alongside compliance teams, legal reviewers, and product designers to make regulated experiences feel human without losing precision.

I bring the same care to every scale, from a three-word button label to a full content governance framework built to outlast team changes.

Founder project

Handled: Your life’s admin

I founded Handled and built it with AI: a consumer app that turns the paperwork of a life (bills, records, warranties, legal documents) into something calm and searchable. I led the product, the content design, the brand, and every word. Claude wrote the code under my direction. Built to Apple HIG and WCAG 2.2 AA.

AI filing
Reads it, names it, files it

Snap it or forward it. Ella suggests a name, a folder, and tags, and you confirm before it files.

Your cloud
Filed into your own cloud

Handled files documents into a Handled folder in your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. That folder is all Handled can see.

Plan and Money
Dates and bills, surfaced

Ella pulls important dates and amounts from your files into reminders, a calendar, and a budget view.

Tamper-evident
Records you can check

Save a file with a timestamp and a SHA-256 hash to show it hasn’t changed since you saved it.

Emergency access
Ready for the hard day

Send trusted contacts a password-locked emergency file. They don’t need a Handled account.

Calm by design
No pressure to stay

No streaks and no countdowns. The free trial needs no card, and nothing charges automatically.
