What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in which I can translate complex problems into simple, elegant, and delightful solutions. I want to work for a company that values personal and professional growth, diversity, and respect. I'd also love the ability to be able to mentor more junior members of the team whenever possible.

I am an experienced UX/UI designer with a passion for mentoring. In my current role as a Design & Career Mentor at Designlab, I provide instruction and feedback to students attending the product design bootcamp. I help them level up their designs and skills, and guide recent graduates in understanding the industry and landing their first job in design.

I was recently laid off from my last position due to the company's financial struggles. In this role, I collaborated closely with internal and client teams to build end-to-end digital experiences. I produced high-quality designs and design systems, managed the company's UX/UI Design internship program, and introduced a formal UX/UI process and deliverables.

I hold a Masters in UX & Interaction Design from NYU and a Bachelors in Community Theory & Art from Gallatin School of Individualized Study. I have a strong background in user research and content strategy. With my expertise in tools like Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, and Illustrator, I am able to create impactful and user-centered designs.
