# Heather Sparks > Senior Product Designer | Enterprise UX | Design Systems | Accessibility | Simplifying Complex Workflows | Figma | User Research | Prototyping | 12+ Years Designing Scalable Digital Products Location: Alexander City, Alabama, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/heathersparks I’m a Senior Product Designer with over 14 years of experience designing digital products that simplify complex workflows and improve how people interact with technology. My work focuses on enterprise and regulated environments where usability, clarity, and accessibility are critical. I enjoy transforming complicated systems into intuitive experiences that help users complete tasks efficiently and confidently. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered closely with product managers, business analysts, engineers, and QA teams to design solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints. I’m comfortable leading the full design process from discovery and research through wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and final delivery.Most recently, I worked as a UX/UI Product Designer at Spatial Front Inc., supporting enterprise applications for the U.S. Department of Transportation. My work included improving navigation across complex systems, designing integrated workflows that reduced redundant processes, and contributing to scalable design systems that supported multiple modules.I’m particularly passionate about accessibility and inclusive design. My W3Cx Web Accessibility certification has helped me design experiences that are compliant with WCAG guidelines while remaining intuitive and efficient for all users. Key areas of focus include: • Enterprise UX and complex workflow design • Product design strategy • Design systems and scalable UI components • Accessibility and inclusive design (WCAG) • User research and usability testing • Cross-functional collaboration with product and engineering teams. I’m always interested in opportunities to design thoughtful, impactful products that make complex systems easier to use.
