What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative design and user-centered solutions.

I am an award-winning UX/Product Designer, most recently at Google, where I led end-to-end design initiatives that significantly improved the user journey for B2B clients. My role involved identifying high-impact areas for ideation, development, prototyping, and user testing, while mentoring junior team members to uphold high-quality standards in design and execution.

Previously, I served as a UX Lead at Goldman Sachs, where I quantified problems and deployed scalable design solutions across various platforms. My background as an intellectual property attorney uniquely positions me to bridge the gap between technology and user experience, ensuring that complex technical challenges are translated into elegant, user-friendly solutions. I am passionate about promoting design thinking and fostering a culture of UX excellence within organizations.
