Driving Design Decisions Since 2017 💪
I’ve been in UX for 7 years, most recently as a Lead Design Researcher at Meta Reality Labs. Before that I was a Senior Design Researcher at iRobot and a UX Designer & Researcher at the User Experience Center a consultancy I joined while earning my Masters in Human Factors/UX.
I chose to step away from Meta to expand my skill set and perspective, completing UC Berkeley’s 6-month UX Design program and founding Studio G, my freelance UX studio.
I’m well-versed in the UX field, with extensive experience in collaborating with product teams and driving impactful design decisions. I’m seeking a role at a tech company with a strong team culture, ideally in consumer and/or cutting-edge products.
