I’m Elaine. I care about designing beautiful things to help people.
I’m scrappy, adaptable, and I ask dumb questions.
I’m a San Francisco-based Product Designer currently at Homebase. Before that, I led Design Systems. I’ve hosted workshops, previously with Adobe and Boston University. I often mentor designers at @design.laine.

I’m Elaine, a product designer with a deep interest in human behavior.
My biggest superpowers are taking complex workflows into visual representations, identifying patterns across the product, being collaborative and exercising my leadership skills.
I’d describe my designs as conversational, clean, and grounded in fundamental design principles. Animations and playful UI get me particularly excited.
