UX & Content Design, Strategy, & DesignOps Work

While researching and advocating for users' needs, I collaborate with Business and Technology to achieve strategic goals, use optimal tech, and reduce costs while fostering engagement and inclusion.

Whether designing, leading a team, or guiding strategy, I apply critical thinking, inquiry, and data to optimize the utility of end-to-end experiences while attending to the details that delight.

I learn and adapt quickly, whether I'm navigating diverse industries such as Fintech, Healthcare, Energy, and Education, or switching gears from tackling technical, complex applications to crafting marketing and educational experiences for a wide range of audiences.
