I design scalable digital products and UX systems that improve usability and adoption.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led digital product design at OEConnection, the Federal Reserve Bank, and Top Dog Design, creating user-focused experiences across B2B platforms, payment processing, web, email, and social channels. At OEConnection, I curated two design systems using Figma, Tailwind, Storybook, and Axure to create scalable, reusable UI components.
I use research, personas, journey mapping, analytics, and AI-assisted tools to turn complex requirements into wireframes, workflows, prototypes, and product roadmaps. I bring design thinking and Agile collaboration to improve usability, accelerate iteration, and support measurable product adoption.
