What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior role that fosters collaboration and innovation in design.

I am a Product Designer with over 4 years of experience leading end-to-end UX/UI initiatives across various sectors, including responsive web platforms, education technology, and nonprofits. My ability to manage complex projects and align cross-functional teams has been recognized through my promotion to Production Design Lead, where I demonstrated initiative and execution under tight deadlines.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered elegant design solutions that prioritize user experience. I have led significant projects at Backpack Interactive, where I owned the UX/UI for major initiatives and supported multiple additional projects. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work closely with operations managers, tech directors, and external development teams to ensure seamless implementation and design consistency.

I am now seeking a senior role that allows me to shape thoughtful user experiences and drive collaborative design practices. My goal is to contribute to a team that values innovation and user-centered design.
