## Work Experience
### Product Designer @ Courier
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area
Redesign of the “Designer WYSIWYG” tool”. This includes “asset manager”, an easy way for customers to re-use assets globally across templates. Transforming a clunky and hard to learn tool into one that is intuitive and easily discoverable.

Implemented Heron design system. Resulted in a 2x improvement in development velocity. Played a big part in the successful effort to optimize the developer handoff.

Redesign of “Automations Workflow”. The result is a (25%) faster, more streamlined workflow which has eliminated related customer support tickets. Increased engagement by ~15%.

### Founding Designer @ Codemod
Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area
Ran research to discover user needs and product opportunities. Insights were launched into two new products: Codemod Studio and IDE Extension.

In a case study with Cal.com, we showed that our platform saved 192 hours (20%) of engineering time upgrading from Next.js 12 to 13 upgrade.

### Project Lead @ Genentech
Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area
Consultant via ERM. 

Simplified and streamlined safety review process for capital expense equipment purchases. I drove this cross functional effort involving: Procurement, P&D, R&D, Business Partners and 7 Technical Program Managers.
--> The result was a pleasing and efficient review feature integrating with the existing online procurement tool. We increased safety reviews by 2x (~. This added coverage focused on high impact, high risk equipment.

### Program Specialist @ Facebook
Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Menlo Park, California
Lead a complete overhaul of an internal injury reporting tool, worked with 7 major stakeholders across 3 functions. Previously, the safety team could never address the seemingly endless list of incidents (addressed less than ~30%). The report submission process was time consuming and frustrating. 

Updates reduced the reporting time from ~1 hr to ~30 mins. With updates, the safety team was able to address over 90% of incidents (data from first 6 months of launch).

90% of customers surveyed reported greater feelings of safety, comfort and happiness as a result.

### Project Lead @ BSI
Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Laguna hills

I collected user requirements, and collaborated across 4 business groups to customize the software to user needs. The deliverable was a large scale migration of data and documents into Entropy (on a team of 4 people).
