Homebase

I started as a Product Designer at Homebase, promoted into a Sr. Product Designer position, improving all-things Payroll. I was also a Design Systems lead for several months of my tenure, leading early component building before we hired a Systems Designer. I’m now on the Growth team, looking for opportunities to bring in new users from a Payroll and Embedded Services (such as workers’ comp, benefits) perspective.
