ABOUT ME

nourishing human

experiences

I am a Product Designer with 8+ years of proven end-to-end experience facilitating over $8M million in revenue from web & mobile products across cross functional teams. I’m eager to boost user satisfaction, improve conversion rates, & keep stakeholders blissed out.

I am fascinated by psychology and am perpetually inspired by the latest trends in graphic design, fashion, animation, photography, & AR/VR.

In addition to my user experience design portfolio, I also am Project Management Certified through Project Management Institute, as well as Scrum certified through Scrum Alliance.

distill down to

essence

In a world where we are inundated with thousands of messages every day it's more important than ever to simplify.

I love investigating the uncharted realms between user/business needs to declutter, demystify, & distill complex problems into simple solutions.

ensuring user

happiness

Creating empathetic bridges between designers, users, & stakeholders is paramount for the ultimate success of any product.

I use a multidisciplinary approach to assemble cross-functional teams, perform research, create prototypes, conduct usability tests, & work with developers end-to-end during a product launch process.

While I am taking my 10,000+ steps each day I am often listening to these sickening podcasts about design, psychology, & technology.
