What I bring to the team
Design leadership
As a design lead, I focus on building a creative and supportive environment where my team can grow their skill sets and thrive. I empower my team to take ownership of their projects and support them from concept through delivery. By promoting open communication, encouraging innovation, and recognizing individual contributions, I ensure that our design vision is aligned with both user needs and business goals. My leadership style is focused on developing talent, inspiring creativity, and delivering exceptional work.
Great critical thinking skills
I love organizing information and working with stakeholders to define the shape of a problem. Problem solving & breaking down complex topics is the best part of my job and I excel as an information architect. I strive to be unbiased and use the best available data when making decisions.
Full spectrum UX
From discovery to delivery, I’ve worked in every area of UX and I regularly evaluate my skill sets and look for growth opportunities. I’m a big proponent of lifelong learning and look for openings to test new deliverables and new processes in my work.
Passionate about tech
I’ve worked in tech for over a decade, and always stay up-to-date with the latest news and industry trends. From AI, to VR, to digital assistants, to devices and hardware - if it’s tech I’m following it.
Big on process
The teams and clients I’ve worked with know that I deliver consistently great work every time. And I accomplish this by understanding the design process inside and out and actively adapting it to project, client, and stakeholder needs.
A collaborative mindset
On a daily basis, I collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders, developers, designers, data analysts, and leadership. I am known for refining processes and enhancing collaboration between teams. As a design lead, I take pride in providing guidance and mentorship to junior designers, helping them grow and succeed.
