What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead UX and design systems that make complex information intuitive, partner with cross-functional leaders, and grow global teams—combining user-centered design with operational efficiency to ship high-impact products.

I’m a UX and product systems designer with 10 years of experience translating complex technical data into intuitive, scalable digital systems. I bring a user-centered mindset—reinforced by recently completing the Google UX Design Certificate—to turn hard-to-grasp information into clear, engaging experiences.

At PSI (Washington, D.C.), I lead design system and UX strategy work across global health initiatives. I partner with senior leadership to translate complex technical content into user-centric visual narratives and digital assets, while also restructuring taxonomies and metadata to improve searchability and content lifecycle management.

I’m especially proud of the operational impact I’ve created: I architect scalable design templates and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for video and design workflows, driving $20K+ in annual cost savings. I also scaled design quality by creating and delivering training toolkits for regional teams across Latin America and Africa, strengthening self-sufficiency and brand coherence.

Earlier in my career, I supported multi-channel production as a Multimedia Specialist and delivered high-volume, deadline-driven work as a Graphic Designer. Since 2015, I’ve also led end-to-end website and identity refreshes for small businesses and nonprofits, pairing strong branding with design systems that help growing organizations stay consistent.
