Product/UX Design & Management »
12+ years

Leaving the 2000s, I began to focus my professional and freelance career on Product/UX design and research. Across a decade, I established and developed the Experience Design team at a state university, ultimately acting as UX lead and product manager for a strategic redesign of the institution’s primary top-level website.
