Experience

I am a passionate student of interaction design. I have experience working with a diverse suite of global companies from industries such as finance, retail, telecommunications, television service providers, and state governments. My experience has helped me develop an understanding and appreciation for the design process.

 

I always look to design better experiences.

Work History

Cox Automotive, Inc.   |   April 2019 - Present

Since joining Cox Automotive, I have worked to redesign and refresh one of its largest, industry-leading automotive sales platforms. From the start, I have pushed the service in new directions, leading to the introduction of numerous new tools for tens of thousands of customers across the country.

 

I strive to bring UX to the forefront of discussions as the service moves into new functional spaces. I work with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver valuable new assets to customers. I have expanded my role and oversee the day to day management of two design efforts, while personally handling the design of a third.

 

Within the UX team, I have established myself as a strong proponent of continued learning and pushing for critical thinking around topics such as inclusion and how we define our users. I advocated for and continue to aid in moving our organization to a new design tool to better facilitate cross-collaboration and efficiency.

I also led the institutional transition to Figma to afford greater collaboration and improved efficiencies across our various departments.

I worked as a contracted UX designer for The Home Depot. I worked with multiple teams to help refine and improve three of their enterprise-level software experiences. I was the lead designer on all my efforts at Home Depot.
