My Story
What's your professional experience?
I am a Product Manager with a UX certification who values human-centered design, creativity and strategic thinking.
I have been in the tech space for the past 12 years and I am passionate about exploring the boundaries of art and science with a human centric point of view.
I have worked at both large and mid-sized tech companies in highly cross-functional teams with a focus on:
- Strategy
- Data visualization
- Project management
- Product management
- Defining the project scope
- Building the information architecture
- Creating/iterating prototypes through usability testings
- Working closely with developers
- Frontend development
What do you like to do on your free time?
Outside my serious professional life, I am an artist who loves to draw. If I’m not in front of a computer, you will pretty much see me holding a colored pencil or an Apple pencil.
The only things that will get me away from all of this is my labradoodle, Indy, good food, good wine, and great company.
What’s a fun fact about you?
I went on an 11-day Antarctic expedition right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit us in early 2020. It was breathtaking, but also heart wrenching at the same time as I witnessed the impact of climate change. I also realized how lucky I was to make that trip in such an unprecedented time. As a result, I am currently involved in a project that relates to sustainable UX design, which is about how responsible technology and great design can help reduce our carbon footprint. I will update my portfolio once the project is released.
