What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior UX/UI role where I can lead scalable design systems, ship Webflow-driven experiences, mentor teams, and use research and usability data to improve accessibility, usability, and conversion.

I’m a Lead UX/UI Designer with 9+ years of experience specializing in Webflow, Figma, and coded design systems. I lead end-to-end UX/UI initiatives, translating strategy into scalable interfaces that improve usability and conversion for enterprise and startup teams.

At Juniper Networks, I built a comprehensive design system and component library from the ground up and launched a new global header/footer navigation system to improve accessibility, usability, and brand consistency. I also led UX research and prototyping for an AI Chat Experience and supported high-traffic campaign initiatives tied to major ad placements on Fox and Hulu.

As Founder & Lead UX/UI Designer at Crafted Studios, I’ve launched 50+ client websites and increased conversion rates by 15–30% by systemizing design-to-dev workflows and improving handoffs. I enjoy mentoring teams and setting up design operations frameworks so data-driven decisions consistently deliver measurable business outcomes.
