What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to lead impactful design projects while continuing to grow in my career.

I am an innovative and versatile designer with a decade of experience in UX design, specializing in leading cross-functional teams to create complex and intuitive products. My entrepreneurial mindset drives me to uncover gaps in user experience and enhance digital communications, as demonstrated in my current role as a UX Design Lead for an enterprise-wide secure digital communications portal.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted extensive research and developed strategies that have significantly improved user engagement and onboarding experiences for millions of users. My work at Verizon involved migrating 10 million users to a new profile experience, where I led a team of stakeholders to enhance service design through ecosystem mapping and usability testing. I take pride in mentoring teams and fostering a culture of user-centered design, ensuring that every project I undertake is informed by evidence-based decisions.

My educational background in Graphic Design and Business IT, combined with certifications in UX Management Strategy and Service Design, equips me with a unique blend of creative and analytical skills. I am passionate about leveraging design to solve complex problems and create meaningful user experiences that resonate with diverse audiences.
