About
I'm a freelance product designer and Webflow developer based in Spain. helping businesses to align their online presence with their business goals through creating better user experiences. Before that I was a UX/UI designer with CommerceTools, where I helped create better experiences for their API users. Prior to that, I worked with several early-stage startups helping them to bring their MVPs to life.
I approach design problems from the premise that everything is inter-dependent, determined by the why of human behavior. I find focusing on the why can inspire novel problem solving approaches. Pairing these new ideas with tried-and-true interaction principles ensures ease-of-use and accessibility.
I’ve called home many countries over the years including Myanmar, India, Australia and Kiribati, although I’m from San Francisco. Nowadays, I’m equally happy curled up with a good book or wandering the back streets of a busy Asian city or an isolated Spanish village. Sometimes I go diving. INTP and dog-person.

Kind words
"Dawn helped us redesign our user interface to so that customers could more readily access their client data. Informed by customer feedback and use-cases, she refined our interface by mapping the data visualization and advanced search to align with our customer’s mental models. We’ve since gotten really good feedback from our customers and our sales are up by 15% this quarter."
