Experience
Five years, three roles
Aug 2026 → Present
Product Designer
DADO Luxury Ventures Inc. (founding team)
· Led design of three launch products (One Big Wish group gifting, member Accounts, The Edit editorial) with the founders and engineering: user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, high-fidelity UI and shipped code.
· Shipped 150+ user flows and 140 screens to a 5,000-invite beta that reached ~5K users in its first 8 weeks (GA4), designing in Figma and building in React, TypeScript and Tailwind with Claude Code, with Amplitude and Sentry live at launch.
· Led the One Big Wish contribution journey: prototyped in Figma and shipped a pledge-then-charge checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay, then cut manual admin checks from 3 to 2 by choosing automated delivery pricing over admin hand entry.
· Designed an 18-tab internal operations console so the team handles pledges, charges, refunds and moderation faster without engineering help, with roles, permissions and approval states; also closed five live PII exposures server-side.
· Set up and govern the design system across Figma and code (154 tokens, variants, email templates, WCAG 2.1 AA), so the team ships new screens faster and new designers build without reinventing components.
· Set up pre-launch QA and usability testing: 300+ test cases across nine areas with eight testers; triaged 38 failures with engineering by user impact and redesigned the pages behind them, raising the pass rate from 81% to 100% before launch.

UX Teaching Assistant and UX Research Assistant
Arizona State University
· Coached 325 students across six UX courses through design critique and rubric-based review of information architecture, wireframes, prototypes and usability-testing plans on 120+ projects; ran accessibility reviews of 115+ web projects.
· Led mixed-methods user research on older adults’ adoption of in-home healthcare robots: synthesized 40+ studies into six usability and trust barriers and designed the survey instruments behind two IRB-ready proposals.
· Modeled four end-to-end user flows for human-robot interaction scenarios in Miro and planned the usability and trust evaluation with the faculty research team.

UX Designer
Firefly Fire Pumps Pvt. Ltd.
· Structured the information architecture of an internal sales tool for ~100 sales and operations users: 8 modules on one user flow from inquiry to handoff, replacing each rep’s spreadsheets and PDF catalogs; built by partner MID from Figma specs.
· Designed the 4-layer product catalogue and selection and comparison flow from user research with sales reps, so products were easier to find and quotes went out faster; won stakeholder alignment in walkthroughs before build.
· Co-designed the B2B website structure, responsive page templates and lead-generation enquiry paths with a second designer; website enquiries now convert into ~15–17% of annual revenue (~$1.9M), per the Director of Sales and Marketing.
· Organized variants and library structure for a shared Figma design system used by the tool, website and both dev partners.
· As the only designer for 19 months, took the website through its 2023 launch and kept post-launch releases on schedule, owning developer handoff and design QA with the external development team.
