Hi! I'm Thea.

I'm a Product Designer who's spent time across insurance and tech, transforming complex systems into seamless, real-world user experiences

I'm at my best when the problem is still half-formed. I ask a lot of questions before I touch a frame, and I think that shows in the work.

Hi! I'm Thea.

I'm a Product Designer with 4+ years of experience across insurance and tech designing products that hold up under real-world complexity.
