Hi, I’m Stephanie.

I’m a Product Manager who has contributed to the success of projects ranging from health tech solutions to public parks.

I have more than 10 years of experience in design, user research, storytelling, and complex project coordination.

I leverage my background in architecture, health coaching, and patient advocacy to bring a unique perspective in creating human-centered products that are accessible, intuitive, and meaningful.

My Story

I’m currently a Product Manager with a focus in digital health and care management. My career began as an architect and landscape architect with a passion for designing human-centered spaces that thoughtfully respond to their surroundings.

During my graduate studies in landscape architecture, I explored how site specific design can strengthen communities and address public health needs through an evocation of place and culture. I have a strong interest in health and community well-being with certificates in nutrition and health coaching.

I bring a unique and holistic perspective to product, building impactful tech solutions for people with an empathetic and creative lens.

I partnered with design and marketing to launch an updated company website and collaborated on product marketing materials.

Located in a historic district of downtown Dallas, West End Square is a neighborhood park that speaks to its surroundings through its materials, native planting, and a canopy structure that acts as a frame for community engagement. One of the park’s visions was to seamlessly incorporate technology in a public space, supporting park operations as well as providing amenities to the surrounding community.

As a Project Manager and Lead Designer, I collaborated with the team from concept design through construction documents, leading drawing set coordination. I had the opportunity to engage the West End neighborhood through interactive community events as well as present to the Dallas Park & Recreation Department, ensuring project buy-in.
