Bio:

My professional background spans a diverse range of roles in the digital and physical product space, where I consistently deliver human-centered solutions that achieve measurable business outcomes.

• For over eight years, I served as a software developer, systems analyst, UI designer and developer, and UX specialist.

• I have three years’ experience as a human factors engineer / usability engineer on medical devices, combination products, and consumer products.

• And for over four years I worked on various projects including end-to-end UX design, UX research, web design, digital marketing, social media marketing, and web development (mostly WordPress).

I approach every project with a focus on aligning innovative solutions with business objectives, creating products that stand out through superior user experiences and usability. My pragmatic mindset fosters a balance between innovation and risk management, ensuring actionable outcomes.

With certification as a Certified Usability Analyst, along with a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and a Bachelor’s in Computer Information Systems, I bring the technical and strategic expertise needed to lead end-to-end UX and Human Factors research initiatives.

I’ve collaborated with high-profile organizations like Mayo Clinic, NASA, Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, UCLA, Qatar Airlines, South African Bank, Baxter Healthcare, and St. Jude, as well as smaller businesses and nonprofits, delivering solutions that resonate with users and drive business growth.

A few extra fun things about me:

• I used to manage, DJ, and book music events in New Orleans venues before Pandemic.

• I worked on T.V. and Film productions as extra, costume/wardrobe, accounting, graphic design, and still camera.

• A few years in Digital Imaging allowed me the privilege of working with a Master in Photography Herman Leonard.

• I’ve been lucky enough to get a few travel photography gigs, and one of my photos went viral thanks to a certain boy band member.
