What I'm looking for

I'm looking to simplify complex products through user research, clear UX decisions, and iterative validation. I value roles where I can partner closely with product and engineering teams, use feedback to shape priorities, and improve meaningful user outcomes.

At Wild Me, I design and improve complex, data-heavy workflows for researchers and citizen scientists, making key information easier to find and act on. I’ve simplified reporting, redesigned Encounters and Individuals pages, improved multi-animal Sightings handling, and designed unified search across core workflows.

I turn user interviews, surveys, and support feedback into clear design decisions, validating solutions before implementation. My work has reduced bulk-import errors, increased feature adoption, and reduced support tickets caused by workflow confusion.

At Curi, I partnered closely with the founder to shape an early SaaS mobile MVP, consolidating fragmented features and removing unnecessary complexity to create clearer core flows.

At New Age, I owned product direction and UX across Sleep Sounds, Food Product Scanner, Carbon Footprint Tracker, Dictionary App, and Learn Spanish. I prioritized features, led research, mentored interview processes, and balanced user feedback with product constraints across multiple apps.

At Curi, I worked closely with the founder during the early-stage development of a SaaS mobile MVP. The product began with loosely defined and overlapping concepts, with evolving structure and naming conventions.

A key challenge was that two closely related features had been treated as separate experiences with different names and flows, which created unnecessary fragmentation in the product expe
