👉 I am a Senior Staff Product Designer with 10 years of experience working on enterprise software. 💡Formerly a Special Education teacher, I know well how to create systems, experiences, and environments that empower anyone to succeed. Coming from a working-class background, I am inspired by enterprise software because what I make impacts so many people’s day-to-day work, as well as their employer’s bottom line, and ultimately their livelihoods. I take seriously the role that technology plays in the way people work and learn and the responsibility I have to make it is as valuable as possible. 💪 My strength is bridging the gap between user research and product discovery—and actual product. I excel in unknown opportunity spaces, where I can employ my research and visual communication expertise, as well as my facilitation skills and technical knowledge, to tackle highly complex challenges with creativity. I use design artifacts like frameworks, models, diagrams, and prototypes to create, validate, and iterate on solutions and align and move teams forward through ambiguity. 🎯 You want to work with me when you need to • understand a new product space • synthesize creative solutions to seemingly disparate requirements • move forward through ambiguity • prioritize the most valuable features based on user insights • build consensus across multiple functions and business units • execute on product strategy with clarity
