I am a UX/UI designer specializing in analyzing and designing data-heavy tools, with more than a decade of experience helping ordinary people make sense of complex information.

I worked for Neudesic for twelve years from 2012 to 2024, overseeing the user experience and interface design of applications for the company's internal business needs. Started as a web designer, I gradually built up the team's design quality by not just creating interfaces that works well, but also formalizing the division's UX process, and bringing industry-standard approaches to user research and design. By the later years of my time at Neudesic, I operated as a senior level UX expert for the team, setting and enforcing design standards, conducting system-wide UX reviews, and working with fellow UX experts from other teams to evolve our own UX process.
An often-mentioned quote by computer science pioneer Alan Kay says "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." I believe something similar can be said about UX design and its relationship with technical implementation. In addition to being the UX lead for my team, I also served partly as their front-end developer. With intimate knowledge of the systems' underlying technology, I was able to align my design solutions closely to the technical characteristics of the systems, allowing a much smoother design-to-development workflow by saving valuable time that would have been spent revising and bringing the design to meet the technical requirements of a project.
