Designing at Scale, Leading with Empathy
I’ve designed accessible, scalable solutions for the most popular video game in the world, crafted apps exclusively for store associates and delivered refreshed experiences for retail customers.
The through-line of my career has been investing in building a fun, exciting team culture that is founded on empathy for users, strong attention to detail and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Incredibly complex problems, unbelievable talent to learn from, and the privilege of designing for a platform (Fortnite) that serves hundreds of millions of players across the globe.
Preached that data drove decisions, allowed me to partner in writing research protocols, and provided an impactful problem space with a meaningful mission.
Challenged me to improve all aspects of the design process, effectively present, develop strong visual design skills, and understand the importance of every detail.
Believed in me when my toolbox was limited to soft skills, trusted me to fill in as a Product Manager, and provided an organization that helped me grow early in my career.
Education
MS - User Experience Design
2017 - 2019
While bootcamps and certificates provide a general overview of miscellaneous UX skills, the Master’s program I completed in UXD curriculum imparted relevant knowledge and technical and soft skill sets that complement my on-the-job experience and prepared me to leave the program as a UXD expert and leader.
BA - Computer Systems
2009 - 2013
Having a B.A. in Computer Systems, I understand the logic behind coding languages and have paired with engineers on past projects. This experience helps when assessing feasibility and scalability in the development cycle.
