As a UX Designer on Securian Financial’s Design System Team, I led impactful initiatives to modernize digital experiences, improve accessibility, and enhance mobile usability across the organization’s ecosystem. By spearheading the migration to Figma, I streamlined workflows and reduced component complexity by 87%, creating a scalable design system that empowered teams to collaborate more effectively. I redesigned core components like form inputs and buttons to align with modern usability standards, introduced innovative elements such as tooltips and CTAs, and standardized focus states to improve accessibility for all users. Beyond design execution, I played a strategic role by conducting rapid prototyping, user research, and cross-functional collaboration with product managers, engineers, and brand teams to ensure designs aligned with business objectives. My commitment to accessibility, usability, and scalability helped deliver intuitive, user-centered solutions that drove measurable impact.

As the sole UX Designer at Creatively Focused, I owned the end-to-end design process, creating user-centered solutions that empowered educators and administrators. I developed a scalable design system that improved accessibility and usability while aligning with the company’s brand identity. By conducting user research and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data, I designed features and workflows that directly addressed user needs and business objectives. My redesign of the platform’s information architecture resulted in a 60% reduction in support tickets, improving overall user efficiency. Additionally, I conducted accessibility audits to enhance readability, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility, ensuring inclusivity across the platform. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I delivered high-fidelity prototypes, introduced improved user feedback systems, and implemented advanced interactions to create a seamless and impactful user experience.
