In the 10+ years of experience on B2B and B2C products, I’ve had the opportunity to design for clients like Google/Android, Honda, Southwest Airlines and other businesses of various sizes and maturity levels. I champion accessibility and design systems and have an integrative background merging a strong devotion to craft, psychology, education, societal wellbeing.
Collaborative, adaptive, organized, diplomatic. Research-driven; passionate about mission and strategy, documentation, and design operations.
