Passionate UX/UI Designer | Impactful Solutions
Passionate about creating intuitive and impactful user experiences, I have a background in UX/UI design and information technology. My journey began with an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree in Information Technology from Everett Community College. I further honed my skills with certifications in UX/UI Design from CareerFoundry and Anele Design. My professional experience includes roles such as Product Designer at MasterControl, where I designed UX initiatives and transformed the design library. As an Account Health Supervisor at EPA Marketing, I coached e-commerce companies' account managers and provided account-level support. I also served as a UX/UI Designer at Busy Bees Babysitting, Mydesign7, and Overstep, contributing to mobile experience rebranding and design system maintenance. My diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to strategize, design, and deliver impactful solutions across various industries.
