Masters of Professional Studies in Product Management

Coursework focused on design and product leadership perspectives to provide user-centered product approaches for business value. In my capstone presentation, I executed a comprehensive product brief through competitive and market analysis, product opportunity exploration, user research, and prototype testing. Final project featuring Notion, can be seen on MICA’s MPS Capstone website:

Design Certification

I thrive on adding value—whether to teams, products, or experiences. With a passion for problem-solving and clear communication, I earned a master certification in UX from Nielsen Norman Group, specializing in UX Management. My expertise lies in scaling digital design standards while ensuring human-centricity across platforms, driving both cohesion and impact.

Earning a LUMA practitioner certification sharpened my facilitation and design thinking skills, expanding my toolkit for human-centered collaboration. Now, I drive better ideas, align teams, and cross-functional work—whether in person or remote—by applying the right design methods to the right challenges.

Delivery Methodologies Certifications

I’m motivated about weaving creative workstreams into delivery teams, ensuring user experience isn’t just a goal but a guiding principle. This led me to obtain a Scrum with UX certification. When everyone prioritizes the end user, innovation thrives, and impact multiplies.

With certifications in Scrum with UX and Evidence-Based Management, I bridge the gap between design and development, ensuring teams collaborate effectively to deliver high-value products. By embedding UX principles into agile workflows, I help teams make evidence-based decisions, align on user needs, and create solutions that drive real impact.

Other creative work I do

Austin citywide MLK Celebration

ROLE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER | ILLUSTRATOR

My approach to designing the graphics for Austin’s annual MLK celebration stems from a deep commitment to reflecting my lived experiences in Austin, Texas. Growing up in the city during the nineties, I witnessed its transformation, a journey marked by diverse and evolving experiences for my family and me. These personal insights shape how I visually interpret Austin’s connection to MLK’s enduring legacy.

Each year, I delve deeper into MLK’s leadership, words, and vision by studying his photos, speeches, and writings. His ability to balance hope with the realities of his time inspires me to create designs that honor both the progress we’ve made and the challenges that remain. Through my work, I strive to convey a message of collective hope while grounding it in the truths we face, offering a perspective that resonates with our communities and future generations in their pursuit of freedom and equality.

Crocheted Creatures

ROLE: CREATOR | CROCHET HOOK SPECIALIST

I truly take pride in helping companies reach their user goals, but creating abounds beyond my profession. I have taken up creating amigurumi, crocheted stuffed animals, to explore the boundaries of my imagination. All aspects of life are designed, and I am thankful that I get to live what I love each day.

Logos and Iconography

ROLE: DESIGNER | ILLUSTRATOR

Effectively communicating the intrinsic value of new concepts has opened doors to numerous design opportunities, preparing me for larger-scale projects with complex visual and user challenges. My work has been recognized with 64 logos featured in publications such as the LogoLounge book series, Really Good Logos Explained, Market Smart Design, and Logoliscious. Additionally, three of my design pieces were featured in CMYK Magazine #38, earning judge’s favorite honors and a spot in the 52nd Annual ADCH Show.
