Hello there, I’m an experienced designer who cares about making beautiful things that help people. I operate globally and am ready to take on any leadership and or design challenge. My new portfolio is in progress.
I’m a Senior Systems UX/UI and Product Designer with over 15 years of expertise in Product Design and UX/UI, dedicated to creating impactful, user-centered experiences that drive measurable results. I’ve consistently achieved outcomes such as a 25% increase in user retention, a 15% improvement in task completion rates, and a 35% optimization of product development cycles—reducing time-to-market by 20%. My approach is rooted in innovation and collaboration, and I thrive in dynamic environments that value both.
Passionate about mentoring, I enjoy guiding designers to unlock their full potential, develop unique skills, and feel empowered to innovate. Seeing team members reach new heights and succeed in their roles is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
As a freelance designer, contract designer and as an employee, I’ve collaborated with a diverse range of clients and talented professionals across various disciplines, allowing me to continually grow my skills. With a background in classical design training, I’m committed to lifelong learning and bringing creative, user-focused solutions to life. Based in New Mexico, USA, I love to spend time outdoors and am excited to contribute to a forward-thinking team that values collaboration and design excellence.
Thoughtful, Useful, Well Made, Impactful, & Beautiful
These are my core design values, and I strive to imbue them in all of the work I do. I’ve always been making things and inventing ways to improve my surroundings. Solving a tangible need with a beautiful solution is a practice I love and resides in my core. Collaborating with a team to create a far better outcome than otherwise possible alone gives me energy. I like thinking big, working fast, yet carefully, holistically, long-term, sustainably, cross-functionally, zooming out on company strategy, and zooming in on details. I’m always improving, growing, and executing to the highest standard possible. All while achieving a larger mission, connecting my work to something deeper, tethered to improving the world, leaving it better than when I began.
I studied graphic and visual communication design, got my start in branding, marketing, and web design, ux/ui then evolved to specialize in product design and then leadership. Leveraging my visual design foundation and deep user empathy, I’ve established myself as a well rounded design leader who creates human-centered platforms with cohesive throughlines at every touchpoint: from vision and strategy, to brand awareness and marketing, to product development and delightful micro interactions. Throughout my 15+ years of professional experience, I’ve worked freelance, in-house, at startups, and at established public companies, developing a wide range of multi-disciplinary skills in diverse contexts. My insatiable curiosity, high craft, and adaptability, enable me to generate impact in our ever-changing environment.
