Led the end-to-end design of several major features of a zero-to-one product. Conducted interviews, competitive research, led workshops, created wireframes, and built high-fidelity Figma prototypes, resulting in a well researched and supported MVP.
Built a design system of tokens and reusable components in Figma and React, following Atomic Design principles. Leveraged libraries like MUI and D3.js to accelerate execution and used Storybook for staging and documentation, speeding up design–dev collaboration.
Created technical specifications for complex data visualizations through prototyping MUI and D3.js components in React and Storybook. This enabled the design team to specify designs much faster, and let the engineering team implement complex designs efficiently and accurately.
Collaborated with product managers and engineers in an Agile (Scrum) environment. Used Jira and Confluence to write requirements and plan.
Presented rationale and technical feasibility of designs to senior stakeholders across product and engineering, facilitating alignment and buy-in.
Mentored a small team of designers on Figma’s advanced features and best practices which elevated team-wide technical fluency and improved the design team’s efficiency.
