About
I’m a designer that enjoys digital product design, UI/UX design, and branding.
I have the ability to balance a high attention to detail with an intentional focus on the goals of a project. My deep understanding of the product development life-cycle makes me a valuable addition to the product teams I work with.
Work Experience
• Developed and maintained documentation of product information architecture and company's first design system
• Created low and high fidelity UI/UX designs and prototypes
• Led design reviews with product team and across various company departments
• Facilitated customer usability research
• Participated in feature development research with product team
• Led internal and external feature demos
Product Leadership:
Led a three-person team in a four-month R&D project to validate opportunities for livestream content distribution. We designed and ran five experiments to deliver livestream event content to prominent US/Global news organizations and journalists. I reported project results and findings to company leadership and developed a 12-month product strategy for implementing solutions to capitalize on content distribution opportunities.
Led product design in an agile digital product agency across several custom web applications. I worked closely with engineers and product managers as well as customers and external stakeholders. I designed and managed products such as internal tools and SaaS platforms in a variety of industries.
Project Highlights:
• VentureDash by NetWork Kansas — Business competition management SaaS platform; 140+ competitions created with 2,000+ participants since July 2020
• Essential CEU Institute — Healthcare continuing education training platform; 29,000+ course certificates issued to 3,100+ users since mid-2017 (14,000+ issued in 2020 alone)
