/hrAbout this service
Summary
I am a senior product designer with more than seven years of experience. I have worked as a design lead at tech giants (Wayfair), growth-stage startups (Klaviyo), as well as ground-floor startups with a burgeoning user base.
I can help if your app needs a new or revised feature, screen, or a total overhaul. I have extensive experience working on apps, strong UI skills, and am a skilled stakeholder communicator who can seamlessly join a feature team and start contributing immediately.
Process
My process will depend on your needs and where your app is in terms of maturity.
We can dive deep into discovery to better understand your user's needs or begin working directly on a feature or screen.
Whatever stage you're in, I have a set of processes and concepts to help advance it to where it needs to be.
FAQs

iOS, Android and/or Web App Designs
Whether your app is for iOS, Android, or a web app, I have extensive experience designing for these platforms with an understanding of best practices. Based on your needs, we can focus on one specific feature, a whole screen, or overhaul an entire user flow. Your call. Figma is utilized for all design work.
Ongoing strategy and support
I'll work with you to better understand your users and their motivations, as well as your business goals, industry best practices, and guide you toward your blue sky, long-term vision. This could be a short-term engagement or ongoing based on your needs.
UX Research
I can offer a vast toolkit of research methods to help better understand your users and hone in on the appropriate features to focus on. This includes (but is not limited to) heuristic analysis, competitive analysis, user interviews, empathy mapping, remote user testing, and goal-oriented brainstorming.
Stakeholder Collaboration
If you are working with a team of stakeholders (product managers, engineers, etc.), I would be able to seamlessly integrate and collaborate with them effectively. I have spent years working on large feature teams and understand the needs and motivations of these team members.
