I'm a Lead Product Designer with 10+ years of experience based in the Washington DC metro area.
I had an early start in Engineering, which gave me a foundational understanding of identifying and solving problems.
My technical background and appreciation for design have shaped my balanced mindset to align functionality and intuitiveness.
I began my career as an Electrical Engineer, but my appreciation for the seamless blend of functionality and intuitiveness inspired a shift toward software design. This path allowed me to merge technical expertise with a deep understanding of human-centered design, crafting efficient and user-friendly solutions.
I started my design journey with as a consultant designer, I’ve designed products across various industries like Healthcare, Real Estate, Education, and Postal Services.
More recently, as an in-house designer, I've been focusing on complex search and filtering problems to help users find the correct policy data. In addition, I've led the design and user experience efforts on several projects, conducting user research sessions to identify customer needs and building prototypes, wireframes, diagrams, and other design artifacts to ease communication with stakeholders. I've also mentored interns and junior designers on the team to share my expertise and assist whenever possible.
I approach design collaboratively and like to drive alignment between product management, engineering, and other stakeholders to ensure our customers' and business needs are met.
