What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to lead innovative design projects while contributing to a user-centered culture.

As a Senior Product Designer and hands-on Design Leader, I leverage a first-principles mindset to create intuitive experiences that resonate with users. My expertise lies in distilling complex systems into elegant designs, combining user-centered thinking with technical fluency and a deep understanding of emerging technologies.

Throughout my career, I have led lean, resourceful teams to deliver high-impact solutions that clarify ambiguity and drive business value. From designing an ISA-101 compliant IoT dashboard for DFW Airport to leading UX for cloud-based enterprise SaaS tools at National Instruments, my work consistently focuses on enhancing user experience and operational clarity.

I am passionate about fostering collaboration across design, engineering, and product teams to ensure timely delivery of high-quality solutions. My commitment to establishing design systems and responsive frameworks has resulted in scalable and consistent user experiences across various platforms.
