Work Experience

2014 — Now
Senior Motion UX Design at DuckDuckGo

I was hired back when design was still at its infancy at DuckDuckGo. Currently, I'm the Lead in 
Motion Design.

  • Experienced in working and communicating effectively across multiple timezones after 7+ years of working remotely
  • Led design team in user testing and research in how illustrations and motion designs impact brand.

Coordinated company-wide efforts in integrating motion and animation to all levels:

  • Animated icon sets for our desktop and mobile apps and designed motion pieces for web.
  • Worked closely with developers of each field to ensure that playback was as smooth as possible.
  • Created a process that sped up the workflow from design → motion → dev;
Specifically, Figma → After Effects → web / app / mobile
  • Created a motion design system, so that our animations are unified across the different products and platforms (currently work in progress).
  • Helped craft the UX and design the UI for two key products.
