About

With an Associate's degree in Design and Visual Communications from Gibbs College, I have over a decade of experience in the design industry. As a UX Lead at IRALOGIX, I managed a team, implemented new design tools, and collaborated with stakeholders to drive product enhancements. In my role as Sr. Product Designer at NoXX Technologies, I focused on innovative feature sets and cutting-edge UI designs. At Tipico - North America, I served as the single design touchpoint for the North American Sportsbook. During my time as a self-employed Design Generalist, I worked with various companies on a freelance basis, including Travelers, TicketNetwork, and MegaSeats. Additionally, as a UX/UI Specialist at Vigtory, I consulted on design additions to the SportsBook app. My expertise lies in providing creative leadership, implementing design methodologies, and fostering cross-functional collaboration for seamless project execution.
