I’m Christy, a Product Designer with a background in
visual design and
front-end development. I’m naturally curious about
why people behave the way they do,
why systems work the way they do, and how those
decisions shape the experiences we have every day.
I enjoy connecting different perspectives, bringing
users, businesses, and engineers into the same conversation, and
turning
complexity into clarity through thoughtful, practical
design.
Outside of design, I enjoy digging into psychology and exploring what human interaction is all about.
I’m interested in the small details that make something feel intuitive, human, or unexpectedly
delightful. Or maybe I just want to find more interesting ways to see the world.
When I’m not online, you’ll probably find me either eating, exploring somewhere new,
or finding ways to bring more fun into the everyday life.

My career journey. Read the full story
I might be all over the place, but every role and every position I was in built me a better foundation for the next.
Learn — Pono Health
I built a strong technical foundation in a small startup, where responsibilities weren’t
defined by job titles — maintaining web apps, supporting backend data processing, and helping
wherever the team needed me. Building products isn’t just writing code; it’s solving whatever
problem moves things forward.
Observe — DFS Hawaii
I stepped away from software into physical customer experience. Signage and visual
merchandising taught me to ask the same questions I ask today: why is this placed here? How do
people naturally move through a space? Every touchpoint shapes how people perceive a brand.
Build — Collateral Analytics
My move into digital product design — working side by side with engineers, designing
interfaces, and understanding how technical constraints shape product decisions. I learned
what it means to own a product: not just designing something beautiful, but understanding its
entire lifecycle.
Refine — Black Knight
As the company grew, my focus shifted from building new products to improving existing ones —
refining workflows, simplifying complex forms, reducing cognitive load. Sometimes the best
design isn’t adding more. It’s knowing what to remove.
Scale — ICE
Following another acquisition, my work expanded to an enterprise level — translating brand
guidelines into consistent product experiences across multiple teams and applications. It
strengthened my ability to think in systems rather than individual interfaces.
I still ask why. Why this workflow, why this priority, why this feature exists at all. Design,
to me, isn’t making things look better. It’s finding where people, technology, and business
goals actually agree.
