What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, creativity, and innovation, where I can leverage my UX design skills to create impactful user experiences.

As a Senior UX Designer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in delivering human-centered design solutions for various sectors, including SaaS, fintech, and government. My proven track record in federal-compliant UI/UX, particularly with Section 508 and WCAG standards, showcases my commitment to accessibility and user satisfaction. I excel in Agile collaboration and service design, ensuring that complex systems are not only functional but also intuitive and engaging for users.

Throughout my career, I have led significant projects that have resulted in measurable improvements in user engagement and task completion. For instance, at Fidelity Investments, I spearheaded the UX design for compliance-heavy enterprise software, achieving a 40% increase in task completion rates. My experience spans from conducting user research and usability testing to developing scalable design systems that enhance cross-platform consistency. I am passionate about applying design thinking and human-centered design principles to streamline workflows and improve user experiences.
