Lead Product Designer
Give me the messy problem.
I turn ambiguity into direction, connect the dots across complex systems, and help teams see both the stronger future and the next credible step toward it.
10+ years designing customer experiences, internal tools, service ecosystems, and AI‑enabled products.

What teams bring me in for
The problems are usually messy. That's where I'm most useful.
Find the problem worth solving
Direction before you commit to the wrong solution.
See the system, not the screen
See how one solution ripples across products and channels, and back.
Think big, keep it shippable
A stronger vision tied to a credible next step.
Make ideas tangible, earn alignment
Ideas tangible enough to understand, question and support.
Improve how teams work together
Better ways for teams to work together around the product.
How I think
I’m the designer who can’t help asking,
“This solves the immediate problem, but where else could it apply?”
I like to imagine the fairytale version first. Not because a team will build it tomorrow, but because it shows whether the MVP is a real first step or a temporary fix. Then I bring it back down to reality and test it against what the team can credibly build.
That’s how I see my work.
Don't just take my word for it.
Here's how the people I've worked with describe it.
Honey joins us from USAA where she led several design projects and has a background in both design and software development. She is very quick-witted and is able to tackle projects at any phase of the lifecycle. She has a knack for quickly understanding the landscape of something and moving forward regardless of whether she still has blockers or not. Her passion and collaborative style has already inspired others on the team and she would love to be your brainstorm buddy, if you're looking for someone to bounce ideas off of. She also loves cats (you'll typically see them in her background), sending memes and movie/tv recommendations.
Alex, SVP Experience Design Director, Truist Honey recently volunteered to present the NLU & Emerging team's vision and work with the entire Experience Design organization. She showed incredible poise and clarity throughout the presentation and did a wonderful job explaining the space and demo-ing the work. I'm recognizing Honey for stepping out of her comfort zone to do something hard but so important. Nice job, Honey!
Chris, Senior Director of Experience Design, Truist An innovative designer, Honey has skills that span from visionary work to pixel-perfect UI. She has a great ability to join a team at any stage of the design process, and hit the ground running. Her expertise and enthusiasm to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders allow her to streamline processes in order to tackle challenges in projects. She consistently leverages feedback from teammates and proactively conducts user research to craft informed design decisions. Any team would be lucky to have Honey, and I can't recommend her enough.
Martha, Staff Product Designer, Adobe Your helpful spirit and over-achieveness comes in handy in SO many ways on our team. You have great ideas, and you are smart enough to present some really complex topics in clear ways. Your learning curve was short and quick and you have made it a pleasure to work with you on conditionals & etc. Keep being great. We need it! Personally, I love when you "make stuff happen" without me or you needing a computer. Keep nurturing your curiosity and fun.
Yaddy, Principal AI/ML Designer, Truist Having worked with Honey for a few months now, I am amazed at her willingness and ability to jump into a new job and quickly become a rock star. She's a total self-starter, highly driven and constantly reaches out to her colleagues to offer help (yay!). Within a few weeks, she started working on patentable ideas! I'm not ashamed to admit it, I go to her when I need help with deciphering something in Rally or AirTable (to which she is also new). Also, as a new employee, she not only reviewed the Welcome Miro board--she started UPDATING it and making it more relevant while she was onboarding. She added/ edited the steps to onboarding that held up a lot of newbies, and showed them the fastest way to finish the onboarding process that could take weeks. All this within her first month on the job. So that's pretty awesome.
Nancy, Voice User Interface Writer, Truist Hey Honey!
There won't be a Roadside Design-Divas without you. Thank you for all your amazing work in Roadside with me, and for taking it over so well when I was on leave. You are a fast learner and kept the concepts throughout the process that I really appreciate.
It's been a pleasure working with you. I wish you all the best in your new opportunity. I'm sure you'll shine like a diva there too!
Aby, UX/UI Designer I, USAA
