Award winning design leader with 14+ years of collective experience in creating useful, usable and meaningful experiences through web, native iOS and Android SaaS and SaMD applications. Obsessed with design systems, user-flows, and micro-animations. I love being able to simplify and refine complex problems into functional and purposeful solutions by leveraging a powerful and continuous research and design process.
I have worked in small, large, and internationally-distributed agile teams. I work with cross-functional teams to drive strategic product decisions with a user focused lens. I strive to utilize cognitive and social behaviors to better understand the human mind, its functions, and its effects in a given experience. My process is deeply rooted in empathy, research, and the user, allowing for objective understandings which help guide design decisions that both support and enhance the user’s daily lives. A conceptual thinker possessing high work ethics and standards, who enjoys being a part of, as well as leading, a successful and productive team.
With a hands-on approach, I bring a proven track record of team leadership - building, coaching and managing user experience experts and creating an environment where they have what they need to learn, grow, be empowered, and make the best work they can. I lead all aspects of the UX process from foundational user research to usability testing, product design, design systems, animation, prototyping and spec delivery. I am a nimble, strategic thinker that demonstrates flexibility and willingness to roll up my sleeves to lead my team through changing priorities and interesting challenges. I am a self starter and dive into and/or seek out feedback, review shipped implementations, gather data & feedback to find room for improvement and take it all on. I thrive in an environment where my team can deliver features & products in buildable pieces so we can ship & iterate faster.
