What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am an accomplished and innovative professional with over 10 years of hands-on experience in UI/UX and product design. My expertise lies in building products from conception to completion in fast-paced environments, focusing on developing meaningful digital products and enhancing brand experiences through user-centered designs.

At IBM, I led a team of designers to enhance user experience in Planning Analytics Workspace, achieving significant improvements in task completion and user sign-up rates. My collaborative approach and exceptional interpersonal skills have enabled me to build strong relationships with clients and teams, driving successful product life cycles and ensuring design consistency across multiple projects.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to mentoring junior designers and fostering a culture of creativity and innovation. I am passionate about utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research data to understand user needs and translate them into effective design solutions.
