As a transformative manager and servant leader, I elevate design teams by fostering a culture of collaboration, empowering design and research talent, and effectively integrating design thinking and human-centered design methodologies into business strategies and digital product development.
See examples of my past work below to learn more about my background, and let's work together to turn your dreams into reality!
As I reflect on the early days of my UX design career, I remember asking myself "How do I plan on remaining relevant as a designer throughout the rest of my career?" To achieve this goal, I knew I needed to understand what would engage my audiences in the future. This led me to a powerful guiding principle: To understand the tools of tomorrow, you have to understand the toys of today.
With that motto in mind, I began seeking out opportunities in the gaming industry where I discovered a world of innovation that constantly pushed the boundaries of technology and user experience design. By immersing myself in this world, I gained invaluable insights into what drives player engagement and developed the skills to craft exceptional experiences that kept users engaged by prioritizing not only their articulated wants but also their unarticulated human needs.
Through my work, I've been able to create solutions that not only meet business objectives but also provide users with a fulfilling sense of autonomy, mastery, and/or purpose. This knowhow sets me apart from other UX designers and allows me to deliver exceptional results. The insights and skills I've gained through my background in the gaming industry are what truly differentiates me from other UX designers and drives my continued passion for creating incredible user experiences.
Fueled by a deep-seated belief in design's power to change the world, my mission is to lead design teams to greatness, fostering an environment where innovation thrives and creativity knows no bounds. As a design manager, I champion the convergence of strategic vision and creative excellence, steering projects that not only resonate deeply with users but also surpass business expectations. My goal is to cultivate a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, assembling 'dream teams' poised to redefine the landscape of digital experiences. I am on the lookout for organizations that are as passionate about harnessing design for positive impact as I am, eager to craft solutions that not only inspire and empower but also leave a lasting imprint on society.
