My Career so far...
To launch my career as a UX designer, I started in a full time rotational program at Nationwide Insurance that lasted two years with each rotation having a duration of eight months. I developed a comprehensive design system in Figma, intricately organizing color styles, typography styles, and components to ensure brand consistency and scalability across projects. I also played a pivotal role in the success of a high-impact insurance quote estimation application, adeptly managing tight deadlines while ensuring precision and agility in design execution. My journey also led me to successfully complete the Google User Experience Design Certification, a milestone where I independently conceptualized and meticulously guided an entire application through each phase of the formal UX design process.
My experience has exposed me to a dynamic spectrum of project initiatives, fostered collaborations with a multitude of skilled designers, shaped me into a highly adaptive continuous learner, and ingrained in me the paramount importance of maintaining a high level of user-centricity at all times. By immersing myself in this diverse array of projects, I have honed my ability to blend creativity with strategic thinking, delivering solutions that resonate with users while capably fulfilling a wide range of demands in project objectives and navigating complex business needs.
