What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level UX/product design roles that value accessibility, data-informed decisions, mentorship, end-to-end ownership, and measurable business impact.

I am a Senior UX designer with 13 years of experience crafting responsive web and mobile experiences across B2B, B2C, finance, retail, and government sectors. I lead end-to-end design work from competitive research and user interviews to wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and UX/UI QA, while mentoring designers and collaborating with developers and stakeholders.

My work has driven measurable business outcomes — including a 44% increase in clickthrough rates and 12% uplift in online sales for e-commerce, multi-million dollar savings by replacing third-party tools, and $1M–$5M in revenue from product demos. I design accessible, data-rich dashboards and apps, and have strong experience with Salesforce Lightning, Figma, Axure, and design systems.

I prioritize user-centered, accessible design (Section 508/WCAG) and data-informed decisions, and I bring hands-on leadership, polished prototyping, and practical UX writing to accelerate development and improve outcomes.
