Senior UX Designer | Neuroscience Expert
A results-driven and user-centered Product Designer with over 5 years of experience leading end-to-end design. I’m fun, creative, and bold, thriving in ambiguous situations—if there’s no clear path, I figure it out and make things happen. With a background in neuroscience and mental models, I’m passionate about understanding user behavior, leveraging data analytics, and turning insights into intuitive, impactful designs. At CoStar Group, I advanced from UX/UI Designer to Designer II, achieving a 50.9% increase in user engagement through intuitive design. My tenure at United Airlines and GSK as a Senior UX Designer involved working with design systems and enhancing user experiences. Proficient in tools like Figma and Creative Cloud, I excel in creating high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes. My work is characterized by effective communication, problem-solving, and collaboration with diverse teams to deliver user-centric solutions.
