As a design and product leader, I go beyond aesthetics to craft experiences that stick with users—not just meet them in passing. At my core, I’m passionate about making digital experiences more intuitive and human.
What i learned
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 Facilitator certification deepened 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.
