For me, User Experience Design is an art and a science. I like to practice both. My goal is to create products that impact people in their everyday lives.
I enjoy figuring out the big picture - the system or service or data that fuels the product - and then delving into the details of what the user sees. A product has to be useful and beautiful. It's best to weave the business case into the product design as early as possible, and then create a product story that users can hold on to.
I'm known for my initiative. If there's hesitation, I will jump in and take action. I've experienced the entire product design cycle, from concept to shipping, and each time I look forward to doing it again.
I've partnered with many inspiring designers, product managers, and developers. I carry what I've learned from each of them into every project I work on. I thrive in small teams that focus on the present but dream of the future.
These days, I write fiction. Stay tuned for Badge In Here, a novel about four women chasing success in the tech industry.
