Product Design & Information Architecture
I translate content, needs, and constraints into clear interaction models, information architecture, and accessible behavior.
Principal UX Designer · Product Design · Design Systems · Experience Strategy
I Turn Complex Product Work into Clearer Experiences with a Systems View.
I bring hands-on product design to ambiguous problems, then turn recurring friction into clearer decisions, reusable structures, and stronger team capability. That range lets me contribute where the work needs it most: in the experience, in the room, or in the system around both.
What I Bring
Experience Quality & Design Systems
I turn recurring issues into practical standards, review paths, and patterns that help teams improve quality before every question reaches a specialist.
Experience Strategy & Decision Support
I make tradeoffs, risk, and investment needs visible so teams and leaders can focus attention where it will matter most.
Team Capability & Cross-Functional Delivery
I create training, coaching, shared tools, and escalation paths that help people solve more problems with confidence.
Experience
The titles changed, but a consistent pattern runs through the work: stay close to the product, solve the immediate problem, and create a clearer way to handle the next one.
Walmart, Principal UX Designer, Accessibility Lead
Lead experience-quality strategy across a growing Associate Experience organization. I work with product, engineering, research, and QA to make quality risk more visible, improve the decisions behind delivery, and direct deeper support where it can create the most value.
Walmart, Staff UX Designer, Foundation Team Lead
Built practical quality systems for three teams and 16 designers, including risk-based review paths, shared severity language, training, and peer champion support. The goal was to help teams catch more issues earlier without routing every decision through one specialist.
