## About

```text
At Sombra, I designed and launched a B2B client portal for a US fulfillment provider serving 1,300+ wineries and handling 10M packages annually. I also redesigned applications for a US flooring business, improving how staff handled quotes, approvals, and installation paperwork.

I led a UX audit and designed a guided enrollment experience for a Saudi fintech platform offering rotating savings groups. For a Canadian financial services client, I co-led an accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria and delivered revised designs and remediation guidance.

At Sombra, I grew the design team from 5 to a peak of 17 designers and developed the design practice, including introducing AI-enhanced workflows. Previously, at EPAM Systems, I designed SAP’s global digital asset management platform, supporting content delivery to 100K+ users and 35M+ annual asset interactions.
