What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior product or design-system roles where I can lead accessible, research-driven UX work, mentor designers, and scale reusable components.

I am a Senior UX/UI Designer with 10+ years creating user-centered, WCAG-compliant web and mobile experiences, and building scalable design systems that drive consistency and engagement.

I lead cross-functional teams, conduct qualitative and quantitative research, and translate insights into prototypes and reusable UI components using Figma, Adobe XD, and front-end technologies.

I have a strong foundation in visual design and motion (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects), a BFA focused on interactive experiences, and certifications in UX/UI, accessibility, and front-end development.
