I’ve reimagined connected home experiences, led corporate innovation initiatives, and built UX practices from the ground up.Whether collaborating with startups, global brands like Disney and Coca-Cola, or industries such as healthcare, retail, and education, I focus on creating meaningful, user-centered outcomes that drive business success. I thrive in collaborative environments, solving complex challenges through co-creation, storytelling, and design.A few years ago, I took time off from full-time work to focus on my family and personal growth. During this period, I completed a one-year executive program at Stanford, deepened my skills as a Fractional UX Leader, and partnered with founders to develop strategies, design solutions, and build strong teams. This experience not only strengthened my ability to navigate complex challenges but also rekindled my passion for hands-on design work.I’m now seeking opportunities to join an innovative, mature design organization where I can contribute directly to impactful projects, collaborate with talented peers, and continue pushing the boundaries of what design can achieve.
