Seven years building production UI, most recently as Founding UX Engineer at Mermaid. Previously Microsoft FAST.
● About
I'm a UX Engineer bridging design systems and frontend, 7 years shipping production UI on small teams.
Most recently founding UX Engineer at Mermaid (employee #4), where I took product design, frontend, and the design system from zero to production over three years. Before that, contract work at Microsoft FAST on docs and integration tooling.
I like teams where the lines blur between design, product, and engineering.
AI is part of the workflow now. I lean on it for the mechanical parts so I can stay focused on scope, decisions, and how things should feel.
Open source when I can; 100+ contributions across Mermaid.js, Microsoft FAST, and the San Diego Tech Hub.

● A note from a colleague
As a founding member, Steph didn't just help build the product, she shaped the foundation of the team and the culture around it. She brings strong design and product instincts, and a rare ability to turn ideas into polished, practical outcomes.
