Experienced Principal Product Designer with a passion for user experience.
What I'm looking for
As a Principal Product Designer at Yahoo Fantasy Sport, I have led three major product initiatives that significantly improved design processes and partnered with C-suite executives on roadmap and business strategy. One of my proudest achievements was driving one of the largest brand partnerships in the company's history from concept to execution. I take pride in mentoring designers and coaching product managers, ensuring that we streamline delivery through well-crafted product requirement documents.
Previously, as a UX Director at VIM World, I led the adaptation of our core product for an app, prioritizing features and designing all user journeys and flows. My experience at Robinhoo as a Staff Product Designer allowed me to tackle complex problems specific to the financial industry, where I designed a mobile-first options trading feature tailored to active trader needs. I have a strong track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions that enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
