Available to hire
I am a UX designer with a background in user experience, development, graphic design, and instructional design. Currently leading the redesign of SmartAuction.com at Ally, I specialize in creating user-centered solutions that enhance usability and drive business results.
Previously, I led the redesign of FindAMortgageBroker.com at United Wholesale Mortgage, a project featured in a 2020 Super Bowl commercial. With a BFA in Graphic Design from Wayne State University and certifications in UX design, I bridge the gap between design and development using tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe Creative Suite. I am passionate about transforming complex problems into intuitive digital experiences.
