What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate and lead design projects while fostering a collaborative team environment.

I am a self-taught designer with an engineering mindset and a degree in marketing management. This unique combination has allowed me to delve deep into technology while understanding user needs. With over 13 years of experience as a digital product designer, I have successfully crafted digital products that transform complex tasks into intuitive and enjoyable experiences, effectively meeting the needs of both users and businesses.

At Evolent International, I led the redesign of the Customer Service platform, significantly improving user experience and customer satisfaction. My work involved conceptualizing and designing an Auto Authorization System, conducting user research, and mentoring team members on design best practices. I have a proven track record of collaborating with stakeholders to deliver impactful design solutions that enhance operational efficiency and user engagement.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions, receiving awards such as the Pat on Back Award at Evolent and the Synergy Team Award at InfoCepts. I am passionate about leveraging design to solve real-world problems and continuously strive to elevate the user experience in every project I undertake.
