Innovative UX, Product Design & Design Operations Leader<\/strong> | Driving Scalable, High-Impact Design Practices<\/strong> 
As a seasoned User Experience Director with a strong background in cross-disciplinary design and technology leadership, I am driven by a passion for creating seamless and impactful user experiences. I specialize in user experience strategy, information architecture, design systems, and the latest web and app technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my most recent role, I played a key role in spearheading the adoption of an enterprise-wide design system, spanning six implementation systems and collaborating with multiple project teams. This effort included developing a robust web component library of 350+ reusable components, enhancing design and development efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lifelong learner and problem-solver, I thrive in the fast-evolving tech landscape. My insatiable curiosity has led me to build internal content management systems that significantly boost team productivity, advocate for optimizing user registration experiences, and enhance accessibility and consistency across all digital touchpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leader, I focus on empowering teams of talented designers, developers, and operations professionals to succeed. I lead through collaboration, fostering an environment of transparency, integrity, and growth\u2014prioritizing support and opportunity for every team member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I’m not immersed in digital design, I can be found offline exploring the artistry of flameworking molten glass or crafting one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I sound like a fit for a role you are hiring for or would like to consult with me, please reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
