Experience, Interface, Visual Designer

For the past years I've had the pleasure to work in different aspects of my field like design firms, Jackrabbit Design, in the financial industry, The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and the medical tech business, Patient Discovery and more. All these have taught me to create intuitive digital experiences that drive business success. My leadership skills have been honed through guiding cross-functional teams, aligning design initiatives with business goals, and fostering a culture of innovation. I thrive more in fast-paced environments and excels at delivering exceptional results under pressure, making them a valuable asset to any organization committed to elevating user experiences.
