Lead Product Designer with expertise in user experience and service design.
What I'm looking for
As a Lead Product Designer with a strong background in user experience and service design, I have successfully driven product development from concept to launch. My recent role at Optera allowed me to design and launch a core supply chain carbon accounting product in just six months, showcasing my ability to deliver impactful solutions under tight deadlines. I take pride in streamlining processes, having reduced client onboarding time from weeks to hours, which significantly enhanced user satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated a deep understanding of user needs through exploratory research and have effectively communicated design strategies to align stakeholders across departments. My experience at Sovos as a Senior UX Designer involved leading the design for multiple B2B products, where I championed over 250 customer migrations through optimized designs, saving internal teams over 100 hours each month. I am passionate about mentoring junior designers and expanding design systems to foster collaboration and innovation.
