At Amazon, I designed advertising experiences across Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Kindle placements, landing pages, brand stores, and digital banners. I developed visual concepts and campaign adaptations, and presented work to UX teams, product stakeholders, and Amazon leadership.

As a Digital Producer at Amazon, I led creative production and design systems for campaigns totaling $400M+ annually and decreased delivery lead times by 20%. I also created templates and guidance, mentored design teams, and introduced data-informed and AI-assisted creative workflows.
