What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UX role where I can keep growing, learning from others, and building meaningful products. I’m especially passionate about entertainment and storytelling, but I’m open to any industry where design is valued and I can contribute to clean, user-centered experiences.

As a UX & Product Designer with a unique background in hospitality and digital storytelling, I specialize in crafting intuitive, human-centered digital experiences. My approach combines research, strategy, and visual design, ensuring that every project I undertake is shaped by empathy and collaboration. I have a proven track record in mobile apps, e-commerce, and feature design, always aiming to create solutions that resonate with users.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various projects, including the design of an AI-enhanced commenting feature for HBO Max and a comprehensive e-commerce redesign for MoonMaid Botanicals. My experience spans the entire UX process, from stakeholder discovery and competitive research to user flows, prototyping, and testing. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, responsive designs that not only meet client goals but also enhance user engagement.
