Design sets the bar.

I am capable of leading across all stages of the design process. I enjoy helping cultivate the vision, obsessing over interface details, advocating for UX best practices and leading teams to success.

  1. Research and discovery
    I like to work with project stakeholders and team leads to help identify early user requirements, business impact opportunities or trade-offs in determining the scope of design work.

  2. Iterative design and prototyping
    This is where I spend the majority of my time. Conceptualizing new experiences or improving existing products by solving for unmet user needs. I work to validate design concepts and interactions through ideation, prototyping and user testing.

  3. Insights and planning
    As projects evolve in response to user feedback, it becomes easier to incorporate new features or modify existing ones to meet evolving business needs. I like to get involved at this stage to help inform road maps and guide feature prioritization.

  4. Build and test iteratively
    Working attentively with engineers to support continuous deployments presents opportunities to conduct QA and user acceptance testing, collect feedback and ship improvements with more confidence.
