Profile: https://flows.cv/melony

I’m a strategic product designer with 5+ years of experience crafting enterprise platforms, scalable design systems, and UX operations at scale. At Sam’s Club (Walmart), I led modernization efforts across 100+ projects, introduced design QA rituals, and mentored teams to deliver high-quality, consistent user experiences across a complex organization.

I specialize in turning ambiguity into structure—whether it’s aligning 40+ designers on a platform migration, standardizing processes across pods, or streamlining credit flows to boost conversion by 120%. I'm passionate about making large systems feel clear, human, and intentional.
