I'm a designer and Creative Director with 25 years of experience in UI/UX and product design. I excel at creating thoughtful, user-centric experiences that align with business objectives, collaborating with cross-functional teams to transform complex challenges into elegant solutions. I strongly believe every design tells a story. Users are the heroes and it’s our job to guide and inspire them on their journey.Outside of design, I’m passionate about social justice and draw on my experience as a portrait photographer and film director to amplify important narratives. I also returned to school in 2020 to study journalism, and maintain a yoga and meditation practice to stay grounded. Ultimately, my personal and professional interests connect to different forms of storytelling and a need to make a difference.Professional Skills: Visual Design, UI Design, UX Design, Product Design, User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), Design Systems, Information Architecture, Wireframing, Responsive Design, Accessibility, Mobile App Design, Web Design, Desktop Applications, Design Strategy, Brand Identity, Creative Direction, User-Centric Design, Cross-Platform, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere), Sketch, HTML/CSS, JIRA, Storytelling, Problem-Solving, Collaboration, Agile Methodologies, Project Management, Strategic Thinking, Financial Services Design, Branding, Digital Marketing, Data Visualization, Marketing Strategy, Photography.
