As part of my experience, I worked on a wide range of advanced and diverse design projects. I was responsible for taking projects from concept through development, ensuring they met established deadlines. I developed and delivered professional presentations outlining all personal design concepts. Collaboration was a key aspect of my role, as I worked with multidisciplinary product teams. I created compelling designs based on ideation, research, and product requirements, producing sketches, illustrations, and visuals. Additionally, I led the exploration of concepts through competitive assessments, and ideation. Throughout the process, I maintained close engagement with the company CDO and design directors to consider cost, schedule, and performance trade-offs.
