I’m Abby…
A design leader passionate about shaping thoughtful products and strong, creative teams.
At Tailwind, I helped transform a complex SaaS product into a focused, user-driven experience — leading design strategy for our AI-powered tools while guiding the team toward a more research-informed, iterative process. My role often moves between big-picture vision and hands-on design: defining product direction, mentoring designers, and rolling up my sleeves to bring ideas to life.
Before Tailwind, I shaped large-scale digital experiences at YouVersion, where I learned the power of purposeful design and clear communication. As a designer, I created features that drove daily active users and increased retention for millions of users. When I was promoted to Product Design Director, I led a team of world-class designers in shaping the future of the product, while prioritizing consistency across YouVersion’s suite of digital products.
I care deeply about solving real problems for real people. My strength lies in connecting teams around a shared vision and designing with both empathy and precision.
