What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my UX expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on user-centered design and innovation.

As a Principal UX Designer with extensive experience in enterprise platforms, I have a proven track record of delivering accessible and intuitive design solutions that drive user adoption and enhance product usability. My recent role at New Relic involved leading the UX strategy for observability features, resulting in a 23% increase in feature adoption and a significant reduction in design-to-development cycle time. I thrive in agile environments, where I mentor junior designers and foster cross-team collaboration to elevate design maturity.

Previously, at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, I directed UX for Compute services, which are critical to our highest revenue-generating suite. My collaborative approach with product managers and engineers ensured that user journeys were well-defined and aligned with service features. I also led accessibility compliance reviews, improving error recovery paths and reducing support tickets by 18%. My commitment to user-centric design best practices has consistently advanced design scalability and efficiency across teams.
