Experienced UX/Product Designer | Accessibility Advocate
With a robust educational background, including a Bachelor's Degree in Design and History from the University of San Francisco and a User Experience Design Immersive from General Assembly, I have honed my skills in UX and product design. My professional journey includes impactful roles such as Product Designer at ModernTax, where I led design initiatives and ensured accessibility compliance, and at Fieldwire, where I conducted comprehensive user research and collaborated with cross-functional teams. At Hi Dev Mobile, I designed digital products for mobile and desktop, while at SmartThings, I translated high-level requirements into detailed user flows and visual designs. My experience also includes a significant redesign project at Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, where I revamped a legacy B2B enterprise GUI tool. My expertise spans user research, wireframing, prototyping, and collaboration with engineering and product teams to deliver intuitive and delightful user experiences.
