As a UX/Product Designer...

​

I am a curious, self-driven product designer who is passionate about advocating UX design across all fields of work, facilitating design education, bridging the gap between teams, and mentoring new designers.

​

Learning together is the biggest superpower we can do to drive change. My passion for helping others comes from the guidance I have received from my mentors, design community, and learning from my fantastic team members in UX. I strive to do the same for others and want to empower teammates in collaborative settings as a leader with strong emotional intelligence.

​

User experience is crucial and product design is an irreplaceable craft - we can be at the same time covert -  never letting the user know we were there while they fly through tasks - but also deliver delightful and powerful simplicity.

​

I have a couple of strong stances:

 

• Both qualitative and quantitive data are extremely powerful, and I will dutifully declare my assumptions and data-driven research with each design solution

• Designs are all assumptions and hypotheses until tested and released - iterations are king

• You. Are. Not. The. User. (but you can champion them!)

​

​

My UX passions and interests include...

​

• Cognition in UX. User psychology is one of my favorite things to geek out about and make more accessible through storytelling.

• ...Storytelling. A skill I am always growing! Another one of my strong stances is that design communication is key. Treat the audience like a user and make the experience of understanding the context, ideas, and solutions as streamlined and informative. Good design and user value is lost without a champion for it, so find yours!
