Hi — I’m Tara.
I believe design can improve the systems we rely on every day. Over the last 10 years, I’ve inspired teams to think beyond screens, uncovering user needs and creating products that fit into real lives. My strength lies in turning complexity into clarity through research, UX mapping methods, and cross-team alignment. I’m also deeply committed to mentorship and love helping designers reach their full potential.
I’m interested in projects that strengthen mental health, build financial resilience, and improve people’s relationships with the tools they use.
Outside of work, you’ll find me gardening, exploring Philly and NYC, and making art.
