What I'm looking for

I’m looking for UX roles where I can build accessible, security-aware experiences and scalable design systems in Figma, partner closely with cross-functional agile teams, and grow impact through data-driven, user-centered design.

I’m a UX consultant delivering user-focused solutions for government clients, translating complex business objectives into end-to-end experiences while navigating regulatory constraints and multi-stakeholder approvals.

I design accessible journeys that meet WCAG requirements and address heightened security and privacy considerations. I craft scalable user flows and prototypes in Figma, and I help build enterprise-scale design systems using components, variables, and auto-layout.

I also serve as a Figma subject matter expert, mentoring designers and supporting efficient workflows across agile and scrum teams to ensure smooth handoffs. Before UX consulting, I supported students as a library assistant and helped produce live sports broadcasts for ESPN3, sharpening my ability to communicate and adapt in fast-paced environments.
