Whether it’s building a molecular design system from the ground up, or performing regular maintenance and updates, I’ve spent a good chunk of the past decade on learning, building, and teaching others how to do it the right way.
From Wireframes to Prototype
Whether it’s low-fidelity wireframes, clickable hi-fi prototypes, journey maps, or user personas –– Figma is my jam. I am capable of clearly articulating a design journey to all functions of the organization, including executives, from concept to delivery.
Iterative Approach
Design should be a dynamic and adaptive process, and I believe that good product design should evolve through continuous improvement and be responsive to user feedback.
Technical Proficiency
With a solid grasp of design principles, tools, and technologies, I am just as comfortable in a room full of developers as I am with fellow designers. I always stay up to date with the latest tech stack, and love a good brainstorming session on how to build things the most efficient way possible.
User-Centric Mindset
Product designers should always put the user at the center of their design process. I am always advocating for the user’s needs and experiences, conducting user research, and testing designs to ensure they meet the intended goals and usability standards, while aligning this with business objectives.
Marketing and Content Design
When was the last time that you had a product designer on your team who has a master’s in Comms, spent years cutting their teeth in marketing, who also happens to really understand how content and flow go hand-in-hand with good product design? *raises hand*
