What I'm looking for
I am a Strategic UX Designer with over 15 years of experience in creating enterprise-grade, data-driven solutions across CRM, SaaS, and ERP platforms.

I am skilled at aligning human-centered design with business goals to deliver measurable impact and product success.
Throughout my career, I have successfully designed intuitive workflows and service blueprints in compliance-heavy environments, collaborated with cross-functional agile teams, and delivered interactive prototypes that refine user experiences. My role as a Product Designer at Aprimo allowed me to lead UX for an enterprise Digital Asset Management platform, improving engagement by 35% and enhancing content discoverability for customer-facing teams.
With a strong background in web design and development, I have created end-to-end eCommerce customer journeys and designed over 20 client-facing websites. I am passionate about leveraging user research and usability testing to iterate on designs, ensuring that solutions meet both user needs and business objectives.
