I design research-backed, accessible enterprise interfaces that move from complex data to shippable products.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At BlackRock, I lead end-to-end UX for secure FinTech onboarding and data-dense investment experiences, turning research and stakeholder insight into shipped iterations.
I redesigned an investment dashboard’s information architecture and visual hierarchy, improving measured task-completion speed by 30% through usability testing with seven users. I also build scalable Figma systems and use Cursor AI and Figma Make to create technically feasible React/Tailwind prototypes for faster handoff.
Previously at DePaul Innovation & Development Lab, I designed dashboards for service ticketing and ransomware intelligence, reducing analyst triage time by 75% and bringing ticket lookup below two minutes. I also helped test a RAG-based healthcare AI tool with clinical stakeholders and shipped a consulting-firm website within a 24-week timeline.
At Orion Technolab, I led feature redesigns, usability studies, and mobile-first payment prototypes for web products. I work closely with engineering and treat accessibility, risk, and regulatory requirements as design inputs from the start.
