With 10 years of consulting experience, I blend strategy (Deloitte) and design (Slalom) expertise to craft mobile apps, websites, and web apps that drive business success while delivering exceptional user experiences. My consulting background has given me exposure to all aspects of the design lifecycle, from workshop facilitation and user journey mapping to usability testing, collaboration with engineering, and building scalable design systems.
