Professional summary

Senior UX and Product Designer with 15+ years of experience designing enterprise platforms, operational tools, and customer-facing services. My work spans insurance, transportation, mortgage lending, and healthcare, where complex policies and disconnected systems affect everyday decisions. I turn research and workflow analysis into information architecture, interaction designs, and prototypes, working with product and engineering to carry decisions through implementation. I bring experience inside large organizations alongside the practical perspective of building products from the ground up.
