About

Hi there!

I'm Elissa, a product design leader in San Francisco.

Who I am

I'm a product design leader who loves complex problems: the kind of B2B platform where the data is messy, the workflows are long, and getting it right changes how people do their jobs.

I trained as a graphic designer at Rhode Island School of Design and started in San Francisco ad agencies and tech marketing teams. I still lean on that background. It's why I care that products look good and work, and why I think about the people on the other side of every screen.

Since then I've designed across consumer and B2B products at Symphony, Vivino, Züm and Inxeption. Most recently I led product design at Anza Renewables, where I built a design system across four product lines, overhauled navigation and filtering, and set up an AI-assisted design practice that cut prototyping from weeks to days.

How I work

Build the system first. Durable products come from shared patterns. I build design systems that engineering builds from directly and that help teams move faster. See it in Solar Pulse →

Make the case, then make the thing. The best fixes often aren't on anyone's roadmap. I bring the research and the argument to get the right problems prioritized. See it in navigation and filtering →

Measure what ships. I define what success looks like before launch and check after, including when the answer is that something didn't work. See it in the custom systems retro →

Give the team better tools. From documented standards to AI prototyping workflows, I look for ways to let product partners move without waiting on design. See it in the Product Library →
