Hi — I’m Tara.
I believe design can improve the systems we rely on every day. Over the last 10 years, I’ve helped teams think beyond screens to map complex domains, uncover user needs, and create services that fit into real lives.
My strength lies in turning complexity into clarity through journey maps, service blueprints, and facilitating research that informs product strategy. I’m also deeply committed to mentorship and love helping designers reach their full potential.
I’m interested in projects that use design to promote mental health, financial resilience, and sustainability.
Outside of work, you’ll find me gardening, exploring Philly and NYC, gaming, and making art.
