Throughout my career, I've helped people creatively, technically and strategically. Here are some highlights of how I've aided various organization throughout the years: **Leveraged data to help various industries make informed decisions** I analyze data using SQL, Python and R to better understand and address trends. I've leveraged these skills for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation around income inequality in India, as well as businesses that want to better understand their customers to make data backed decisions. **Helped businesses better understand and implement no-code tools and a.i workflows** I integrated no-code tools such as Notion, Airtable, Softr to streamline internal processes, as well as helping others effectively leverage A.I tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Cursor & offline LLMs to minimize and eliminate redundant tasks. This allowed business such as The Princeton Review to streamline their core responsibilities and save significant time in the process. **Improved efficiency in the film and TV industry** I engineered custom remote workflows for post-production departments, enabling editors to collaborate remotely, allowing them to meet tight deadlines and increased overall efficiency. **Provided Web3/onchain adaptation support**: Helped others understand the benefits of blockchain technology, as well as how they can leverage it's advantages over traditional solutions.

I am a product and user experience manager (UX), art director and illustrator with over 15 years experience designing, managing, and engineering teams that create websites, installations, games, and web & mobile apps. My approach to designing products and features is strongly user-centric — using practices like user personas, jobs-to-be-done scripting, product interviews, wireframing, metric analysis, viral growth loops, visual branding, user testing, and the development of cross-department style guidelines. My job as a manager is championing and establishing the design function of an organization as a integral way to provide insights, and deliver exceptional experiences to customers. Awards: • Silver Medal Award from Sheridan College for outstanding honours in Interaction Design (Interactive Multimedia) • MEIC's first inaugural Mobile App Camp using UX theory and AGILE to beat 8 other teams (http://bit.ly/UloGiE) About me: My experience in product design and development spans several industries including marketing, advertising, and tech start-ups. Additionally, I am also a commissioned illustrator. As a senior level UX designer one of my skill sets includes product management to help facilitate the implementation of proper design values within an organization. If you want to develop and create products and experiences that resound with customers you have to maintain a process to set your design, product and development staff up for success through effective practices. Specialties: • Usability testing • User interface design (UI) • Front-end development (html, css, javascript) • JIRA: ticket tracking and resource allocation • Feature request tracking and analysis • A/B testing • Art direction • Creative strategy • Illustration I am not a developer, however I do know a few languages to help interface with teams: Javascript, jQuery, HTML 5, CSS 3, AJAX, Actionscript 3 (Flash) and PHP. Familiar with Backbone, Angular, and Django frameworks.
