Entrepreneurial Product Designer building impactful data-driven products that users adopt, not just adapt to | UX Researcher at AWII, ASU
A Crazy Product & UX Designer who believes great products are built at the intersection of user empathy, business impact, and pushing boundaries. With 4+ years of crafting experiences that matter, I've helped organizations ranging from nimble startups to established institutions transform their digital presence. My approach combines data-driven design with genuine curiosity about people and their challenges – whether that's boosting engagement by 40% for a SaaS platform or redesigning 60+ pages for ASU's largest departments for a better user experience. Beyond the metrics and prototypes, I thrive on building bridges between teams and creating lasting positive impact wherever I go. Because at the heart of every great product is not just good design, but strong relationships and clear communication.

CreatorX offers campaign execution, management, and performance analysis tool for creators and brands. Campaign Processes relies heavily on multiple external applications, creating data fragmentation. Second, the execution process is excessively time-consuming, limiting agility in a fast-paced marketing environment. I led the web experience design, to address this problem. I also played a pivotal role in developing the MVP and achieving the product-market fit.See More
