Resume / 2026

Hazel
Roam

Product designer making complex services feel considered, clear, and quietly human.

Useful work, made legible.

Common Ground

Civic services / Lead designer / 2025

Reframed a fragmented benefits application into a guided service with plain-language wayfinding. I mapped the service, tested the content model, and designed the core flow with engineering.

Northline Health

Care planning / Product designer / 2024

Created a calmer first-run experience for a care-planning platform. The new structure helped people see the next useful action without hiding the complexity behind their plan.

Field Notes

Research tool / Independent / 2023

Designed a lightweight synthesis tool for small research teams, from interview capture through shared themes. The work sharpened my practice in designing for messy, evolving information.

A practice built in partnership.

How I contribute.

Make sense

Service maps, research synthesis, content models, product framing, and the questions that make a direction stronger.

Make it work

Flows, wireframes, prototypes, interaction systems, accessible UI, and the detail that turns intent into use.

Make it together

Workshops, critique, clear handoffs, close engineering partnership, and decisions people can carry forward.

Grounded, still learning.
