Experience Summary

  • I’m dedicated to crafting delightful and accessible digital experiences that are impactful for businesses and customers alike. My strengths lie in my ability to execute design planning and strategy. I have a proven track record of delivering exceptional results both as a team leader and as a solo designer. My expertise in creating end-to-end experiences allows me to champion and drive all facets of the design process, ensuring a holistic user journey from start to finish.

    See my recent experiences below.

  • I lead design teams in various project ranging from Accessible AI, Wellness Mobile App, and Pre-Sales App. I develop design strategies and co-working methodologies to guide my team through the design process, mentoring in research, design, testing, and prototyping.

    Retail Wellness & Health App
    Virtual Makeup & Accessible AI

  • I designed a flagship product that would serve as a “one-stop-shop” that includes functionalities of five existing systems. This newly designed system would have to be customizable to meet the nuanced requirements of over 350 agencies.

    I led and owned multiple key features to build out an impressive enterprise system that revolutionizes the way employees are screened and monitored for security risk. I work closely with stakeholders to understand customer needs through research, design, and testing. Despite highly constraining customer, business, and technical requirements, I designed over 400+ wireframes that brought value and the best possible UX to customers.
