Product Designer | UX & Merchandising Expert
With a Bachelor of Business Administration in Fashion Merchandising from Berkeley College, I have cultivated a robust career in product design and merchandise planning. Currently, I am a Product Designer at Target, where I lead cross-functional teams to enhance user experiences and streamline processes, achieving a 72% reduction in manual tasks for the Target+ item team. Previously, as an Associate Merchandise Planner at Target, I developed strategies that drove significant sales growth and optimized inventory management. My experience extends to UX design with UX Rescue, where I contributed to user-centric designs for non-profit stakeholders. At The Vitamin Shoppe, I supported merchandise planning and collaborated with various teams to enhance brand visibility. My expertise lies in leveraging data-driven insights and agile methodologies to deliver innovative solutions that meet user needs and business objectives.
