Profile: https://flows.cv/beckybochatey

I’ve been a Product/UX/UI Designer for start-ups, large consumer services, and agencies for many years. With a focus on real estate, employment, e-commerce, health, fintech, and entertainment, the products and services I’ve helped build have served millions of users, gone public, been acquired, and tackled ambitious themes like curing cancer and transparency in the workplace. I value collaborative teamwork, opportunities to support meaningful missions, and bringing clarity to complex issues.
