Work Experience
Worked in Figma to design production-ready prototypes for Supply Chain Insight product. Contributed regularly to design system components and webpages. Hosted Figma workshops to ease transition from XD.
Partnered with key client stakeholders to push clients’ internal creative problem-solving beyond what they considered possible. Designed artifacts ranging from fully designed Figma prototypes, client alignment and brainstorming materials, presentation decks that visualized product ideas, and production quality print-ready collateral. Presented projects to client executives and project leads.
Collaborated with the sales demo team to define the next generation of their product demonstration software. Produced high-fidelity mock-ups to guide future product demo enhancements. Created a new brand identity to replace the current brand used for demo purposes. Wowed mentors with proficiency using prototyping tools like Figma.
