Hey, I’m Tara–a Jersey shore based product designer

I’m a multi-disciplinary product designer with experience in B2C, B2B, and SaaS products. I deliver innovative solutions and solve complex problems through thoughtful user experiences. I work harder so our users can work smarter, with frictionless UI and seamlessly integrated AI/ML features in my workflows. I build trust and execute with empathy. I know when to shoot for the moon and when to hone it in—while always delivering big impact.

No one likes to sing their own praise, so I brought you a choir of colleagues I have been fortunate enough to work with.

  • “....she always anticipated what was coming next and kept herself one step ahead. Tara offers up a rare combo for anyone lucky enough to work with her: she's got limitless design chops, an impressive track record of impact and success, and somehow even more skills in reserve. I mean, a Ul/UX designer who can deliver snappy copy, develop creative strategy, AND drive any project?! That's just unfair.”

    Ben Berkley | Managing Editor @ The Hustle

  • "Let me tell you something, What Tara brings to the table is not always clear on a resume or portfolio link. But once you meet her and talk some shop, you can immediately see how valuable her contributions could be to your creative team. If there is one thing you should walk away with from this recommendation, it is that you should take a chance and give Tara a few minutes of your time to convince you of her talent."

    Ashley Kennedy Foster

    Manager of UX @ SkySlope

  • "Tara makes life as a Product Manager and Product Leader easier. She takes ideas and turns them into concepts that are beautiful, intuitive, and functional. She brings real empathy to the problem space by asking lots of thought-provoking questions, exploring available research & data, and investigating how competitors solve similar problems..."

    Eric Marshall

    Manager of Product @ SkySlope

  • "...Tara's approach to design is remarkable. Her innate ability to understand and empathize with users goes above and beyond; she seamlessly integrates user perspectives into her designs, creating experiences that are functional and also deeply resonant. Her solutions to complex design challenges continuously push the boundaries of what's possible, which further showcases her forward-thinking mindset."

    Kasandra Keville

    Product Manager @ SkySlope

  • "One thing I always appreciated about Tara was her willingness to take feedback from the Software Engineers. She was always open to suggestions from the Engineers and was able to work with them to create designs that were not only visually appealing, but also technically feasible. Keeping an open mind and accepting feedback from the Engineers is not always an easy thing to do, because us Engineers sometimes think we know everything. But Tara was able to filter our good ideas from our bad ones and incorporate the good ideas into her designs."

    Joe Bailey

    Manager of Engineers @ SkySlope

  • "Tara is one of the very rare - from the new generation of designers - who "gets it". She is wise beyond her years and a great hire. Tara's creativity has a voice - not just beautiful design aesthetic and execution...but she has a VOICE...a business voice that client's want to listen to. Simply stated, Tara is a "change agent" - never one to deliver just what is asked for, she repeatedly goes above and beyond the call of duty. Tara would be an asset to any organization in need of: fresh thinking, researched thought and new ideology. "

    Michael McCarthy

    Chief Strategy Officer, Managing Partner @ Lanmark360

  • "Tara is a joyous addition to any team and brings enthusiasm and creativity to every project (no matter how big or small). Her talent across disciplines (humanist copywriting, user experience, visual design and marketing) makes her a valuable asset to any team. She is a favorite to collaborate with and tackles ambiguity with fervor. Tara never shies away from opportunities to learn and grow. Interview her. Hire her. You won’t regret it."
