What I'm looking for
I am an experienced UX Director with a passion for improving web product quality and client relationships. At Haymarket Media, I orchestrated departments to enhance the user experience, built and led a new UX team, and introduced collaborative tools that improved workflow and reduced errors. I also spearheaded a project applying Augmented Reality to visualize drug impacts on the human body, doubling pitches and products to medical clients. At OnlyOneAM, I founded and managed a digital marketing agency, leading market research, business development, and sales. I successfully managed a team of employees and freelancers to provide services in website design, UI, digital marketing, and SEO. At Netamorphosis, I worked as a Creative Manager and Senior UX Designer, managing projects and leading the rebranding of a rehabilitation center to enhance brand inclusivity. I have a strong background in design, having worked as a Senior Designer at Kar, Wells Fargo, Steadfast Companies, and DBM Group, where I developed innovative designs, managed projects, and led cross-functional teams.
I hold a JD-NEXT certification from Syracuse Law, completed the CUNY PIPELINE program to diversify the legal profession, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of California. In my volunteer work, I have served as a Remote Crisis Counselor for the Trevor Project, providing support to LGBTQ+ youth, and as a Remote Art Director for MED25, revamping marketing materials for under-resourced African villages. I am passionate about backpacking to developing countries, exploring new cities, organizing running groups, and supporting dog shelters.
