Senior Product Designer

Jan 2021 - now

  • As workstream lead, used Figma prototyping to compare payment confirmation flows, including delayed and rejected transfers; tested whether participants understood the next action before committing to a screen design.
  • With responsibility for the review standard, specified interaction design for amount entry, validation, and recovery, documenting focus order and error placement; gave engineering state-by-state behavior rather than only polished Figma frames.
  • Carried a complex form from sketches through an interactive prototype, tested error recovery with users, and documented component states for engineering handoff.
  • Owned an asset-search redesign using Figma wireframes and user research with 8 participants, increasing unassisted task completion from 5 to 7 in the follow-up prototype test.
  • Released an accessibility handoff for the Adobe asset-management workflow, using keyboard tests to resolve hidden focus, ambiguous selection and unreadable error states.

Product Designer

Mar 2016 - Dec 2020

  • Audited keyboard, focus, and error behavior across 12 priority journeys; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams. Working with partner teams, kept the improvement stable through the follow-up review.
  • Annotated the delivered design with spacing, type and interaction decisions, reviewed the first implementation with engineering, and corrected differences that affected comprehension or accessibility.
  • Tested a revised layout with realistic long text, empty content and error states, annotated the places where the hierarchy broke down, and adjusted labels and spacing while preserving the established design system.

Cross-functional project lead

Mar 2023 - Jul 2023

  • Defined interaction and content patterns for 26 form components; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams
  • Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
  • Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
  • Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.
