Education
As a product designer, I use my strength in storytelling and my passion for people to fully understand problems and design thoughtful solutions. A great UX process is just like a great story, engaging from beginning to end. I am a firm believer in a structured yet flexible product design process as a driver of product innovation. I am eager to work on projects that excite, inspire and drive people to action. I am looking to invest my talents in a team that successfully balances product growth and innovation with people-first management practices.
