About
I'm an MBA-trained business systems and analytics professional based in Kansas City. I combine psychology and business training to build analytics that work with human behavior — not against it.
I enjoy working where business needs, data, technology, and people come together — helping teams clarify problems, improve processes, and make better decisions.
I believe that the best products and dashboards don't just give you more data. They give you a clearer vision.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me training for my next marathon, enjoying a latte, or baking something sweet.

Served as the designated Jira administrator for four cross-functional teams during a department-wide transition from Azure DevOps and OneNote into Jira and Confluence. Led Jira setup, board creation, automation configuration, Confluence migration, Power App-to-Jira intake migration, and large-scale training efforts that supported adoption and go-live readiness for more than 2,000 employees.
"Special thanks to Estelle for keeping communication flowing across departments such as HR, Finance, and Procurement, ensuring alignment across the organization. She also prepared training materials and enablement resources that helped teams adopt the new platform and processes more effectively."
"It was wonderful working with Estelle throughout the Jira migration project. Her contributions made a real difference, and I appreciate all of her hard work and positivity."
At WellSky, I supported product analytics and reporting for a customer-facing platform used by post-acute healthcare clients. My work focused on helping teams and users better understand product performance, adoption, and reporting needs through KPI dashboards, custom reports, SQL-based logic, and user-focused enablement.
Helped turn reporting into a more scalable, user-friendly part of the product experience. Improved visibility into customer usage patterns, feature adoption, and product performance. Enabled more self-service reporting, reducing reliance on analysts for routine reporting needs.
Built real-time Sales Open Orders dashboards that consolidated ERP and CRM data to give supply chain and sales leadership instant visibility into order status, aging, and revenue forecasting — eliminating manual daily reporting.
Full automation over incremental optimization — stakeholders needed complete elimination of manual work, not just reduction. Familiar dashboard design patterns to lower change resistance and build trust to accelerate adoption.
Eliminated a long-standing manual Excel reporting workflow. Enabled real-time executive visibility into open orders and backlog risk. Reduced reporting effort by ~80%, improving decision velocity across sales and supply chain leadership.
Improved operations for a local book, plant, and coffee shop through data-driven analysis, including inventory tracking, customer segmentation, and store-hour optimization based on traffic and sales patterns. Incorporated social media–driven demand trends (e.g., BookTok) into competitive analysis to inform customer engagement and merchandising recommendations.
Simplicity over complexity. Prioritized low-cost, maintainable tooling to ensure adoption by a small business team. Focused on actionable insights over complex analysis.
Replaced ad-hoc inventory and sales tracking with a structured framework. Improved visibility across books, coffee, and plant revenue streams. Enabled data-driven decisions for store hours, customer targeting, and marketing.

Dashboard Philosophy
I design for the people who will actually use the data — busy professionals making important decisions under pressure. Good analytics begins not with the data, but with understanding the audience.
The best dashboards don't give you more information. They give you the right information, shaped into a story that's useful in the moment it's needed.
Outcome-First Metrics
Surface what matters most, not what's easiest to measure. Focus on business outcomes that drive impact.
Clear Visual Hierarchy
Information that's easier to take in reduces cognitive load at decision time. Clean, focused design that prioritizes signal over noise.
Signal Over Noise
Highlight what matters most and remove what doesn't. Clean, focused design that earns attention rather than demanding it.
Audience-Specific Decisions
Design for the user, their context, and their business. Executive, operational, and user-level needs are genuinely different.
