Tara is an incredibly talented and creative UX designer who always made working together a highlight for me. She takes initiative, collaborates effortlessly with engineering and product, and has a gift for coming up with out-of-the-box ideas that lead to better solutions for users. I loved working with Tara because I learned something new on every project, and she helped me grow as a Product Manager. Tara constantly encourages the team to think bigger and deliver more impactful results. Any company looking to level up their UX quality and processes would be lucky to have her."
"Working with Tara has been an absolute masterclass in user-centered design. As a senior UX designer, Tara brings a rare blend of visual communication expertise, strategic UX thinking, and compelling storytelling that transforms complex ideas into intuitive, meaningful experiences. She is highly collaborative—effortlessly bridging design, product, and engineering—and remarkably efficient without ever compromising quality. What sets Tara apart is her unwavering commitment to championing the user at every stage. Any team would thrive with Tara on board."
"What impressed me most about Tara was her comprehensive understanding of our products that went far beyond the typical designer perspective. She possessed genuine technical depth that allowed her to engage meaningfully with our architects and engineers, often challenging them to find better solutions - she was passionate about delivering the best possible outcomes for our customers. Her collaborative approach and willingness to dig deep into complex problems made every project better. She brought both intelligence and creativity to every challenge, always with a smile and positive attitude that made her a joy to work with."
[Coming Soon!] Defining a bulk action pattern with the complexity of lists comprised of different items and actions that could not be applied to all.
For me, great design is about removing friction and creating moments of clarity: when a user can seamlessly complete their goal without noticing anything about the system's framework. I care deeply about how people experience a product, not just visually, but in how it supports their goals and makes their work easier.
I strive to craft experiences that feel natural, empowering, and quietly efficient, no matter how complex the system behind them is.
When I’m not designing, I love exploring new hiking, biking or running trails, experimenting in the kitchen or pottery studio, diving into tech and AI trends, and curling up with a good book. I’m also passionate about mentoring other designers and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
I would love to hear from you! Whether you have a question,
need assistance, or just want to say hello.
