I am a Senior UX Designer currently working at Starburst.io.
My experience spans visual design, interaction design, prototypes, participant recruiting, generative and evaluative research, product discovery, and product planning.
Case Studies
Data is Better with Context
To show value for a messaging student engagement platform, we must be able to filter out the noise and identify important behavioral shifts.
How to Train a Bot
In order to scale, the product needed to provide user friendly tools that helped users manage their own content with organizational tools and guidance.
E-Learning Course Home
Rapid prototyping and usability testing on this core page of the e-learning experience helped me design a clean update with key usability improvements.
Values
I strive for authenticity.
Direct communication and honest feedback allow us to skip the assumptions and bring explicit reasoning to the table. We might catch something important.
I value the curiosity to ask why.
Everyone benefits when we understand the core reasons behind an initiative. I believe answering the big questions allows us to make better decisions as a group and as individuals.
I try to find balance daily.
We must empathize with our users while keeping an eye on business needs if we want to provide a great experience and great value.
