User Experience Designer

SUMMARY

With over ten years of experience focusing on designing, managing and delivering immersive experiences. I speak with users and stakeholders to understand a problem before solving it. I collaborate with my teams, prioritize based on user needs, business viability and technical constraints. I advocate user-centered design and make decisions based on deep industry knowledge and data. I guide cross-functional teams from beginnings to launch. I utilize the design thinking process with my team and iterate designs to solve user experience problems and drive business goals. I would love the opportunity to apply my passion for user-centric design and bring a fresh perspective to your team.
