Hi, I'm Haley!
Hi, I'm Haley!
I'm a systems thinker fascinated by human behavior. I love creating order from complexity and turning scattered information and evolving ideas into intuitive product experiences.
As a Product Designer, I thrive in the messy middle: exploring possibilities, connecting patterns, and helping a team move from "we're not sure yet" to a confident direction. I enjoy zooming out to understand business goals and product strategy, then diving into the details that make an experience feel good to the people who use it.
I've always been drawn to creating structure. As a kid, I couldn't walk past a messy room without reorganizing it. When I discovered product design, it felt like the perfect outlet for that instinct: bringing clarity to complex, human-centered problems.
Outside of design, I love organizing spaces and creating personalized systems that help people feel more at ease in their environments—a process that's surprisingly similar to UX design. When I'm not designing or organizing, you'll usually find me:
painting, crocheting, or doing some other creative project
at the beach
or relaxing at home with my cat, Nala

Outside of design, I have a home organizing side business, where I design personalized systems around each client's habits and lifestyle - a process that's surprisingly similar to UX!
