Content design & UX writing

I’ve been a content designer and UX writer for over a decade. With a recent focus on fintech, insurance, SaaS, and telco, I’m skilled at crafting conversational, accessible, and empathetic copy that supports diverse user needs. I collaborate closely with product owners, designers, developers, legal/compliance teams, and accessibility specialists to deliver user-centered experiences that help meet business objectives.

I was the lead content designer and UX writer for a major revamp of Sun Life’s online Evidence of Insurability (EOI) application experience.
