ABOUT EVE

Eve D'Onofrio, Ph.D.

Content & Experience Design Leader

I help organizations simplify experiences, strengthen teams and create more connected ways of working through content strategy, experience design and systems thinking.


From startups to enterprise environments, I turn complexity into momentum and results.

WHAT DRIVES ME

Helping people move forward

I am drawn to moments that matter: when people struggle, systems fail, and paths disappear.


From healthcare to wellness to behavior change, I've spent my career creating experiences that help people move through difficult moments with more ease, confidence and compassion.

Whether it's a patient searching for care at 2 a.m., a senior registering for an app for the first time or someone trying to quit smoking, the design of those moments can leave people lost or empowered.


I choose empowered, every time.

"When we design for people first, better systems follow."

HOW I LEAD

Leadership by design

Great experiences come from teams that feel safe thinking boldly, put themselves in others' shoes, and build with shared purpose.

My job is to design that environment.

Clarity before action

I remove ambiguity with clear insights and strong leadership, so teams can move with confidence, not hesitation.

Breadth and depth

I am equally comfortable crafting high level strategy or that one detail that makes a key moment land.

People first, always

I lead teams centered on inclusivity, curiosity, growth, accountability and the belief in each member's value.

Cross-functional partnerships

I build relationships and partner closely with product, accessibility, legal, engineering, business & marketing.

Built to scale

I create experiences that flex and scale for impact that goes beyond a single launch or product.

Empathy as strategy

I start with human-centered design thinking every time. What problem are we solving? Who are we helping?

VALUES & LEGACY

Making an impact

The real measure of work isn't just the platform we shipped or the metric we moved. It's whether the person on the other end felt valued, understood and supported.


That belief shapes how I build teams, approach problems and what I contribute to every organization I've been part of.

FOR CULTURE

"The culture of a place influences people's desire to make a difference."

The best work happens when people feel inspired, trust their voice matters and know that failure is part of the process of making things great.

FOR ORGS

"I create frameworks and standards, not just one-off solutions."

Compelling content strategy and UX design involves content frameworks, design standards, journey templates and governance models designed to scale.

FOR USERS

"I want people to feel less alone in hard moments."

Navigating a life challenge, trying to do something you've never done before - those experiences should feel human, shared and as easy as possible.

FOR TEAMS

"Those who create with care need care, too."

I mentor writers, strategists and designers to develop and grow their crafts, careers, interests and lives.

THE HUMAN BEHIND THE WORK

A few things you might not expect

Stanford doctorate in

Political Science

Before UX, I studied how systems shape human flourishing and empathy leads to better outcomes.

Every role I've taken has been about taking care of people

Healthcare, mental wellness, behavior change, teaching. That's not a coincidence, it's a disposition.

I ran an organizing business

for a decade

Before tech, I founded Organized Tranquility to help people simplify complicated lives.
