About Me

I'm a Lead UX Product Designer that is passionate about creating efficient designs and positive user experiences. A qualified and agile visionary focused on website and software development: I solve complex user-centered problems throughout a product's lifecycle with UXD principles and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. I take the complex and make it simple and easy to use. I completed my Masters in HCI with Honors as a single mom, while employed fulltime. I have never used any obstacle as an excuse not to achieve my goals. If you want something bad enough, you should find a way to remove any obstacles. My motto for life/work: Move it; move on!
