Resume.

Product Designer experienced in designing for B2B SaaS platforms. I collaborate closely across discovery and delivery, working alongside product and engineering to ship work that solved real customer problems, strengthens retention and shortens time to market. I bring experience in design systems, accessibility and evidence-led decision making.

Selected highlights.

  • Improved user productivity by improving in-product searches and enabling bulk actions that reduced multi-day operational activities to hours.
  • Implemented a cross-product design system that allowed for team collaboration and increased delivery speed and consistency.
  • Improved usability for all users and achieved VPAT compliance with less accessibility remediation in yearly audits.
