What I'm looking for

I'm seeking long-term remote product work where I can own continuous UX improvement.

At lovebuzz, I design UI/UX for B2B SaaS and government applications. For a board-meeting management SaaS, I designed ChatGPT-based features for meeting transcription, summaries, and legal-compliance review, adapting the interfaces for administrators and board members.

On a government business application via NTT DATA, I restructured the Figma files and established a design system with operating guidelines. I also designed for dark mode, screen-reader support, and color-vision accessibility, and directed the English-language version.

Earlier, I directed web and creative work at Creo Inc. and Sony Music Solutions Inc., including a 1,000-page integrated site and creative production for Sony products. I’m looking for long-term remote product work where I can own continuous UX improvement.
