Some of my achievements include increasing user-centered design solutions by 30%, boosting satisfaction ratings by 15%, and enhancing usability by 60%. Previously, as the Founding UX Designer at TeraThought, I coordinated design reviews with stakeholders, achieving a remarkable 95% alignment rate on product vision and goals. I also addressed key pain points, resulting in a 20% increase in customer satisfaction, and designed and implemented user-centered features, driving a 15% increase in user engagement. I am passionate about solving complex problems, empathizing with users, and learning new skills. I thrive in collaborative environments that foster open communication and shared success. I am excited to connect with fellow professionals in the design community, share insights, and explore opportunities to create impactful and intuitive UX/UI design.
