As a Product Designer designer with several years of professional experience, I specialize in creating delightful online experiences that bridge user needs and business goals. I'm a continuous learner and team player, passionate about delivering functional designs that solve real problems. With expertise in product design and a strong focus on user-centered design principles, I'm committed to creating engaging digital experiences that drive conversions and user satisfaction.

Throughout my UX career, I have consistently excelled in collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, ensuring a smooth design process from ideation to completion. A particular highlight is my successful contribution in designing large-scale D2C projects. For example, during my time at Canada Drives, I played a pivotal role in enhancing the platform's user experience, resulting in a significant increase in user engagement and a subsequent boost in conversion rates. These accomplishments highlight my ability to transform user insights into intuitive and engaging design solutions that yield tangible outcomes.

I have a deep understanding of user-centered design principles and UX best practices, which I continuously apply to diagnose problems and develop effective design solutions. I am adept at conducting user research and prioritizing design solutions based on business goals and user needs. By utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data, I am able to transform complex information into actionable insights that drive the decision-making process.

I value effective communication and collaboration in my work. I have been recognized for my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and work well with teams. At my previous company, I was honored with the Team Player Award as a result of my commitment to teamwork and collaboration.

My most relevant education includes attending RED Academy in 2016, where I focused on learning user experience design. This program provided me with a strong foundation in understanding and creating user-centered design solutions. Additionally, I am currently enrolled in classes at UBC (University of British Columbia) to further enhance my education in interaction design for XR (Extended Reality) experiences. This ongoing education allows me to stay updated with the latest advancements and techniques in designing immersive and interactive experiences.
