Transcending Travel was founded with one idea in mind: To unite our clients with the unique travel experiences of their dreams. We believe that it is not enough to read about distant lands or even see them on the internet or television. One must witness with their own senses the locations, cultures, wildlife, and people that make our earth the amazing place that it is.“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” – Augustine of Hippo

Led a UX team responsible for the UX architecture and UI design, including a design library, within the back-office systems of the entire North American chain of 7-Eleven stores. Mapped out complex system architectures and strategically found ways to optimize intricate processes.

Performed negotiation and collaboration between business teams, across the company, to find common ground in accomplishing the greater user experience initiatives. I was assigned to this role due to my proven ability to navigate volatile internal politics to gain a unified consensus in progressing the company’s design goals.Outside of that role, I led several UX teams. One was responsible for architecting and creating unified global elements for all business web portals at AT&T. At the same time this team also focused on the taxonomy, architecture and design of the business portion of att.com.A second UX team under me was responsible for UX design and architecture, in the highly complex ordering portions, of the Enterprise Business Center portal. There I created optimized processes that allowed my team to be able to handle five times the work of other teams while also maintaining high morale and cohesion. These processes saved our team, as well as our business partner teams, hundreds of hours of redundant work.This was a very project management sort of role that had strong inclinations towards UX architecture and design consistency. As such, I was also assigned the role of mentoring the UX Leads in our department to increase their adaption and effectiveness within their own teams.
