## About

```text
At Stronghold Investment Management, I work on complex oil and gas workflows, turning research and business requirements into user-centered designs. I also design interactive Power BI dashboards and reports, collaborating with product, business, and data teams on metrics and reporting requirements.

At Fidelity, I contributed to research and design for XMT, including Multi-Day Scheduling, and worked on transaction experiences across BDX. Across my work, I create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and responsive interfaces, and use tools including Figma and AI-powered design tools to support the design process.
