Hi, I'm Marilee

I love my work as a Product Designer and Researcher.

I bring a unique hybrid of creative and technical skills to my work. Visual craft is my native tongue, and product strategy is my chosen home.

I’m an interdisciplinary thinker with a broad creative skillset and an analytical bent. I use that hybrid to infuse digital experiences with human warmth.

Skills

I push through complexity with my team to make digital tools more human.
Design catalyst

I'm a coalition builder, and I love to deal in cross-functional team members early and often. My design collaborations are fun, and they increase the speed and quality of product evolution.

End to End Skills

I’m an interdisciplinary thinker with both analytical and creative chops. I meld both to solve visual development needs with speed and precision.

Customer insight

I have a knack for spotting emerging trends early, helping my team ship features just as customers start to want them. I design research strategically to analyze a product’s core interactions and identify efficient improvements that will win users’ hearts and loyal business.

Growth by design

The game of balancing business needs and customer needs is one I never tire of. I love asking the right questions in qualitative and mixed-methods research to identify the content that customers want to see and deliver it in ways that drive sustainable growth.
