My Approach
Inclusive Design: including users throughout the design process in order to build user-centered solutions that improve people’s lives.
Creative Problem Solving: using tools like Miro, Jira, Qualtrics, Otter.io, Slack, Notion, and Google Workspace to help me tackle difficult problems, understand users, and collaborate more efficiently.
Design Systems: collaborating with other designers in Figma, building scalable component libraries using auto-layout and variants.
My Background
