Hi, I’m Monica!
I combine 8+ years of front-end engineering experience at Microsoft with a passion for crafting user experiences that are both beautiful and functional.
Recent work
Improving clarity and trust in the digital adoption experience
In this independent UX audit and redesign, I evaluated the adoption and service flows of a local animal shelter to uncover barriers affecting clarity and trust. Using heuristic review, accessibility analysis, and user flow restructuring, I reimagined the adoption journey to better support prospective pet owners.
10+ heuristic issues identified
8 redesigned screens
Reducing decision fatigue around healthy eating for busy professionals
As part of the University of Washington’s UX & Visual Design Certificate program, I led the end-to-end design of MealPilot — a concept mobile app that helps working professionals eat healthier without the stress of meal prep and grocery planning.
