Work Experience
As a Senior Staff Product Designer at Toyota, I have the opportunity to work on the cutting edge of automotive design, creating the next generation of cars. I am currently focused on designing the instrument cluster and HMI components of these vehicles.
In my role, I partner with product and engineering leadership to drive the design vision for the product and act as a leader on a cross-functional product team. Engaging with designers and engineers, I bring innovative 0 > 1 feature concepts to life — from their infancy to full-fledged design solutions. My approach always centers on the user experience, ensuring the driver and passengers remain the core of our design philosophy. My focus is on advocating for the user experience and ensuring that the end-user is at the forefront of our design decisions.
I work closely with teams from North America, Europe, and Japan, participating in international design exercises on a weekly basis.

I steered the design direction as a Lead & Product Designer, bridging the gap between intricate design theory and practical application. My role encompassed a wide spectrum: from conceptualizing initial ideas to crafting user interfaces for both mobile and desktop platforms. I collaborated with stakeholders, ensuring our designs resonated with both the brand's vision and the end user's needs. With a hands-on approach, I led prototyping sessions, bringing design mock-ups to life and fine-tuning them based on feedback.
At Ueno, I lead for the development of Twitter's Enterprise platform, I spearheaded the project from ideation to final design. I was responsible for producing designs, and wireframes, and providing design direction. I worked closely with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and ensure that the collaboration met the needs of developers while maintaining the company's brand standards.
My design expertise played a crucial role in the successful launch of the platform, which received positive feedback from developers and contributed to the overall growth of Twitter's developer ecosystem.

During my time at IDOL, I embraced the dual roles of Lead Designer and Creative Director. I was deeply involved in the conception and crafting of user interfaces across both mobile and desktop platforms. Collaborating closely with stakeholders, I ensured designs met strategic objectives and user needs. As the helm of the design team, I guided the creative process, blending vision with execution to bring innovative digital experiences to life.
As a creative lead at Siberia, together with the talented team we designed and developed YouTube's 2021 Brandcast Delivered for advertisers. Youtube Brandcast is an annual opportunity for Google to share its upcoming Originals content lineup and new ad offerings in a star-studded manner. The virtual 2021 Brandcast Delivered was hosted by Hasan Minhaj and featured YouTube Creators like iJustine, James Corden, and Venus Williams, as well as a musical performance from Miley Cyrus.
We have designed and developed both the online web and offline experience for Brandcast Delivered from scratch. Producing highly-detailed concepts needed for both print and digital formats while keeping true to Youtube's brand mark was one of our biggest challenges in this project.
