As a Product Manager Fellow with Develop for Good, I worked with Berry Medicine’s Native BirthWork Initiatives, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the health and well-being of Native families by restoring Indigenous cultural practices surrounding pregnancy, birth, lactation, and early parenting. I co-led a multidisciplinary team of designers and technologists, helping translate the organization’s goals into a clear product strategy and actionable project roadmap. I led product scoping, user experience research, requirements gathering, and prioritization while collaborating closely with our client and team to ensure that our work was both culturally responsive and genuinely useful to the communities Berry Medicine serves.

Throughout the fellowship, I helped guide the redesign and development of Berry Medicine’s website, with a particular focus on accessibility, navigation, resource discovery, and improving the organization’s ability to connect with birthworkers, families, donors, and volunteers. Our work included implementing Little Green Light CRM integration, developing application workflows for Cultural Safety and the Indigenous Birthworker Network, improving the site footer and navigation, and planning accessible resource libraries and interactive features. This experience strengthened my ability to bridge research, product strategy, design, and technology while working within real-world nonprofit constraints and collaborating across disciplines.
