SP23: GRDE-240 Website Design I
I lead diverse teams of researchers, strategists, writers, designers, and developers to create beautifully simple solutions that address urgent challenges in emerging industries.
I managed and mentored junior designers on branding, strategy, and web projects through design operations, learning initiatives, goal and succession planning, design direction, and critiques.
I lead enterprise-level research and design efforts for complex performing arts, museum, cultural, and association clients.
I overhauled Adage’s ecommerce product with accessibility and web and best practices for seamless implementation and customization for both designers and developers.
I created and demonstrated Adage’s first branding service, transformed discovery insights into prototypes for healthcare-focused clients, and designed and implemented a federated search application.
I reunited and improved a scattered fintech application on iOS, Android, and web through usability testing, design system development, and analytics.
Volunteering
I mentor queer designers in the tech sector to prepare them for professional life through self-initiated projects, portfolio and résumé reviews, and career strategies.
I help organize an annual international typography competition by vetting submissions and facilitating the judging process.
