What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create seamless, accessible digital journeys, particularly in travel technology, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and continuing to advocate for inclusive, data-driven design.

I've led end-to-end product design for SaaS clients through Seb Mendez Design, using research and prototyping to create scalable, user-centered solutions. I also streamlined design-to-development handoffs, reducing delivery time by up to 50%.

At Bellwood Labs, I redesigned enterprise financial dashboards that reduced user flow completion times by 45%. I led discovery and research to turn pain points into data-driven UX improvements.

At Voolt Technologies, I led design for a responsive AI website builder that increased conversion rates by 18%. At Kanopi Studios, I built accessibility strategies and a component library while redesigning interfaces to raise engagement by 20% and reduce bounce rates by 15%.

I'm especially drawn to travel technology, accessibility advocacy, and sustainable digital experiences. My engineering background helps me collaborate closely with developers and turn complex product needs into clear, inclusive user journeys.
