About Me
I am an empathic Product Designer focused on aligning product direction with the evolving needs of end users.
I am passionate about my work creating a positive impact in the world.
I have 15+ years of professional experience, including:
Digital Product Design: Creating and maintaining design systems & pattern libraries that accelerated the development of interfaces on desktop and mobile devices for B2C and B2B SaaS companies.
Human-Centered Design: Empathizing with users and producing creative solutions that removed friction points through iterative brainstorming, wireframes, mockups, and testing of prototypes.
Giving back: Running a successful Kickstarter to publish a bilingual children’s book for kids with cancer
I am passionate about my work creating a positive impact in the world:
As part of the Sequoia High School Academy Mentor Program, mentored high-school youth in at-risk communities.
As part of Groundspark / The Respect For All Project, co-facilitated public workshops that addressed the root causes of bullying, helping create more inclusive, welcoming, and thriving schools and communities.
Working pro-bono in the redesign of English and Spanish websites for local non-profits.
In my free time, I like to meditate and do illustrations and caricatures.
