Hi, I’m Christy — a Senior Product Designer who turns complex problems into thoughtful, intuitive experiences.

 

I have 7 years of experience creating user-centered solutions that deliver real business impact. I’m currently working at Aurora Solar, where I lead design for HelioScope—a commercial solar design and modeling platform that operates as part of Aurora’s product suite.

As the sole designer on HelioScope, I focus on simplifying complex workflows, reducing friction, and automating time-consuming tasks to help commercial solar professionals work smarter, not harder. I bring a strategic mindset to every project—balancing user needs, technical feasibility, and business goals.

Whether I’m shaping end-to-end product experiences or refining the details that drive usability, I thrive on solving the right problems through thoughtful, collaborative design.

 
 

Case Studies

Testimonials

"One of Christy's biggest strengths is her understanding of our customers, their workflows, and the tools they use. When I'm trying to figure out how to talk about a new feature, she helps me understand how they see the problem and solution—whether in conversation or through her well laid out Figma files."

— Customer Support Manager

“Christy hit the ground running in a very challenging situation. HelioScope has never had a dedicated designer, and we have a fair amount of product debt. Christy has followed a methodical and iterative approach, looping in engineers early, often, and proactively. She’s flexible and pragmatic. She works equally well on an incremental approach as she does on re-thinking a feature from the ground up."

— Staff Engineer, HelioScope

“Christy’s leadership in driving discovery for Bifacial was instrumental—the concept testing she led provided crucial insights that shaped the right experience for a complex feature. A similar approach was seen with Independent Tilt. The high-level sketches and rapid interview guide she developed enabled the team to gather early customer insights and avoid locking us into a single solution too soon. She consistently shares user insights and helps build discovery skills across the team."
