Profile
UX designer working where research meets craft. Seven years designing complex tools, the kind with a thousand states and no room for decoration. I earn the layout by watching people use the old one, and I care as much about the empty states as the happy path.
Experience
UX Designer
- Redesigned a data-heavy analytics product; task success in usability tests rose from 61% to 88%.
- Built the pattern library that keeps four squads visually consistent without a weekly design police meeting.
- Run the research practice: interviews, tests, and a shared archive the whole team searches.
Product Designer
- Took features from sketch to shipped UI for early-stage clients across fintech and health.
- Introduced prototyping to the pitch process, which cut post-launch rework noticeably.
