With a background in UX design and engineering, I have collaborated with startups and corporations to drive innovative solutions. My experience includes working as a Product Designer for various companies, where I led end-to-end design processes and leveraged tools like Figma and Sketch to ensure quality and consistency in UI/UX design. As a User Experience Consultant at Walgreens Boots Alliance, I improved internal developer experience and bridged the gap between design and development. Additionally, my role as a UX Design Engineer at Telnyx involved translating strategic requirements into user-friendly features and contributing to company-wide design excellence. At OmniUpdate, I worked as a Sr. UX Design Engineer, optimizing the core product CMS experience and applying Lean Startup methodology to define key focus areas.
