Strategic Product Designer with an entrepreneurial mindset

As a Senior Product designer with 7+ years of experience, I enjoy partnering cross-functionally to drive strategic solutions that solve complex problems for web experiences. As a problem solver, I thrive on connecting the dots between research, product, design, engineering, and analytics to ensure that consumer voices are heard and business needs are met. I value craft and prioritize creating digital experiences that are easy to use and visually compelling for everyone. I am proficient in tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Jira, and Confluence.

A brief hiatus

In November of 2023, I left my role to focus on my passion and founded Texas Asiatic Archery to foster a community that embraces and connects with traditional Asiatic archery, culture, and tradition. I led these efforts with a Product Designer mindset to help form a vision, prioritize and plan, and execute initiatives within scope.
