I like working within the real-world constraints of users, businesses, and teams to figure out what’s worth building, and then crafting the best version we can ship.

Courtney is the rare designer who digs into the strategy before she ever opens Figma. On our intramural competition product, she reframed the entire problem around what gym owners were actually trying to accomplish. That single shift completely reshaped the scope for the better. She designs from strategy, not just UI.
