UX Product Designer focused on intuitive user interaction and end-to-end research.
What I'm looking for
I’m a UX Product Designer focused on creating intuitive user interaction and experiences. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to support the full product lifecycle—research, prototyping, and validating design solutions with real user needs.
In my work at DesignLab, I conduct end-to-end user research (interviews and synthesis) to uncover behavioral insights, define problem spaces, and translate findings into actionable design decisions rooted in empathy. I design intuitive user experiences through information architecture, user flows, and interaction design, creating wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma and Vercel to validate concepts via user testing.
I’m also a product designer across projects for brands including Igloo, Target, and Walmart, driving initiatives from concept through pre-production. I strengthen accessibility and consistency through WCAG and design systems aligned to Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Google Material Design, and I bridge design and development using front-end proficiency (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Next.js, React) to improve collaboration and implementation.
