During my years as a creative professional I've demonstrated proficiency as both a self-reliant contributor and team leader across corporate and nonprofit environments. My experience spans external partnerships and innovative emerging technology projects, which has furthered not only my technical skills but also my communication, strategy, and leadership abilities.
I have grown to prioritize fostering open and supportive team environments, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives in driving innovative outcomes. My exploration of innovation and experience strategy has shown me that design thinking extends beyond sprint planning and customer interactions, enriching the entire design process. User experience design is a true passion for me; I believe in the power of design to transform ideas into impactful and visually stunning experiences that enrich the lives of users.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, I have had the privilege of leading design teams and working on a wide range of projects across multiple sectors and technologies far beyond just 'mobile and desktop'. I am always excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations that value design as a key driver of success. If you're looking for a dedicated and passionate lead designer who brings both creativity and strategic thinking to the table, I would love to connect. Let's create something extraordinary.
