Hi! 👋🏽 I'm a design, product leader, content strategist, and mentor. I grew up in the beautiful state of Louisiana. I'm passionate about designing for the underdog, transparency, saas products, emerging tech, and knowledge-sharing to upcoming designers. I share via ADPlist.org and continue to learn via self-learning, side projects, and chatting with my peers.
I'm currently Director of Product Design at Carputty, where I work alongside various departments that touch every aspect of the customers experience. We're building the future of financing for vehicles to make the vehicle purchase process smooth & seamless.
I have worked and consulted with companies that solve problems across fintech, on-demand services, insurance, events, crypto, scheduling, and supply chain. Each company has heavy E2E experiences that deal with role based permissions, integrations, and white-labelling products.
I previously led design at Roadsync and was an early designer at ParkMobile. Before design, I was a photographer and graphic designer.
