{ Hi there, I'm Christy; }
I design and build experience
between pixels & code.
Inspired by nature & respect for all organic behavior
designed for people, readable by machines
I’m Christy, a Designer who moves fluidly between pixels and code. 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.
I might be all over the place, but every role and every position I was in built me a better foundation for the next.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where I’ve Been
Aug 2023 – Jul 2026
ICE Mortgage Technology
Owned UX/UI across AVM, property analytics, and reporting products — designing the flows, then writing the production UI that shipped them.
Worked with product managers and directors to scope what was reasonable, with engineers on application structure and backend constraints, and through QA, UAT, and release cycles to the fixes that followed.
Doubled as a shared UX resource across teams: icons, dashboard UI, and PDF report layouts for products outside my own.
Mar 2020 – Aug 2023
Black Knight, Inc.
Designed the original interface for a market-share analytics platform, from flagship-client pilot to production, and simplified its search workflows with progressive disclosure and contextual states.
Nov 2017 – Mar 2020
Collateral Analytics
Shipped 0-to-1 product interfaces from early wireframes to final UI, building the responsive web and hybrid mobile front ends alongside engineering.
Selected Projects
My designs aim to work for the user, with the engineer,
and toward the business.
A tighter pass through earlier print, interface, and identity work.
