About Me
Hi, I'm Sydney 👋🏻
Hi, I'm Sydney 👋🏻
I'm the designer who asks, "What problem does this actually solve?" before jumping into a design. With a background spanning healthcare, education, financial technology, and social impact, I design holistic experiences that satisfy real user needs and drive meaningful outcomes.

Sydney has consistently delivered work that rivals designers far more experienced than her, while bringing a level of user research rigor that has meaningfully elevated our design process. Her methodical approach to research and synthesis has set a strong example for how we validate design decisions across our entire design team. Any organization would be fortunate to have Sydney as their next product designer.
Nathan Jones
Product Design Manager @ nCino
Sydney is a great teammate and a pleasure to work with. She confidently stands behind her design decisions, always grounding them in solid user research, while remaining open and willing to take feedback and incorporate it into her work.
Bernie Cosgriff
Senior Software Engineer @ nCino
She brought thoughtful curiosity, strong design instincts, and a willingness to challenge assumptions to create better user outcomes. Halfway through our project, she identified a major pivot based on new research findings and delivered a compelling stakeholder presentation that changed our direction for the better. Sydney strikes that rare balance between insightful researcher and talented visual designer. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.
Hannah Brooks
UX Designer @ FamilySearch
It’s been such a blast mentoring Sydney! She dove into projects like a pro, asked great questions, and tackled challenges head-on (even the weird, messy, “we’re still figuring this out” kind 😅). Truly grateful to have her on the team — she’s brought a lot of creativity, curiosity, and great vibes.
Rose Geller
Product Designer @ nCino
Much of our success in the lab was due to Sydney. She consistently pushed us to deliver work of the highest quality. Sydney positively and persistently challenged our vision and methods, helping us see opportunities more clearly and ultimately design solutions that prioritized the user. I have the utmost respect for Sydney—as an innovator, a person of integrity, and a relentless winner.
