I'm always looking for new ways to push what's possible in digital experiences. With a strong foundation in design principles and a deep understanding of user behavior, I create immersive, user friendly experiences that actually work for people. Whether I'm designing for VR, AR, or traditional screens, I bring a fresh perspective and a sense of curiosity to every project. I'm drawn to emerging technologies like AI and the metaverse because they open up new ways to solve problems and create moments that surprise and delight users. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to collaborate with people who think the same way.

### Sr. Principal, Product Design @ Ingram Micro
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024
I led the implementation of an iterative user-centered design process that elevated design quality and fostered stronger collaboration across teams. By introducing a “two-way door” feedback model between design and engineering, we streamlined development cycles and delivered more refined user experiences.

I developed a roadmap that combined short-term experiments with a long-term vision to improve self-serve onboarding, resulting in a 10% increase in conversion rates. I also designed cross-interface experiences spanning AWS Console, CLI, and SAM CLI, translating abstract technical concepts into intuitive, end-to-end workflows. To support data-driven decision-making, I co-created a collaborative framework for launch metrics with engineering and product partners, enabling faster feedback loops and more informed iteration.
