Featured Work
Configuration Page Redesign
Instana, IBM's automated observability product, had 16 configuration pages that had grown inconsistent over time, each built differently with no shared visual language. As Designer Intern, I led the end-to-end redesign, creating a consistent, scalable design pattern using only Carbon Design System components.

Words from Collaborators
It's been an absolute pleasure managing Emily over the course of her 3-month internship at IBM. Her ability to pick up and apply patterns and concepts is well ahead of where I would expect an intern to be. That ability led her to be a productive contributor to the team in a very short period of time.
