Leveraged a user-centered design process to create multi-channel experiences for customers. Collaborated with UX colleagues, product managers, brand partners, and IT teams to develop a full understanding of the Huntington customer journey. Led multiple projects in the digital portfolio while creating IA diagrams, wireframes, and prototypes that informed requirements discussions and supported usability testing.

I was responsible for research and UX/UI design of Crown’s next-generation warehouse management software.

During my summer cooperative, I managed the redesign of the Joy brand by conducting research, writing and presenting the design brief to the Marketing Director and Brand Manager, obtaining approval and budget for the initiative, and providing vision and feedback to the design agency. Additionally, I created brand timelines for Dawn, Cascade, and Joy that will be utilized in brand guideline books and stored in the P&G Archives Center. I presented my final projects to design managers at the end of the term.

I helped build a residential community through programming and event planning. I served as a mentor and a peer contact for students.
