About

As an interaction designer and creative strategist, I have over 12 years of experience in designing web, mobile, SaaS, and interactive OTT experiences for various clients and industries. My mission is to create powerful and thoughtful user-centered design solutions that meet the needs and goals of both users and businesses.

I have a BA in User Centered Design and Product Design from ArtCenter College of Design, and a Design Sprint Master certification from AJ&Smart. I have also worked as a senior UX designer at AWS, where I designed enterprise software and internal tooling for AWS FinTech, conducting research, testing, synthesis, and validation. I have strong skills in Figma, creative direction, and user experience design, and I am always eager to learn new tools and methods to improve my craft. I am currently looking for my next opportunity to apply my skills and expertise in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
