What I Do

I help teams plan and structure clear, usable digital experiences before design and development begin. My work focuses on UX strategy, information architecture, and content structure. I translate business goals into site maps, user flows, content frameworks, and documented requirements. I specialize in turning complex websites and systems into logical, user centered experiences that scale.

Professional Focus

I am pursuing roles as a Web UX/UI Strategist or UX Architecture Lead, where strategy, structure, and execution intersect. I enjoy leading discovery conversations, defining requirements, and collaborating with designers, developers, and stakeholders to ensure digital projects are built on a strong strategic foundation. I am especially drawn to environments that value quality, documentation, and continuous improvement.

Skills & Approach

My work emphasizes early phase UX planning, clear documentation, and cross team alignment. I create wireframes, user flows, and prototypes to guide build decisions, and I support projects through analytics, data-driven insights, and iterative refinement. I care deeply about accessibility, usability, and clarity, and I enjoy improving consistency and performance across large, content heavy sites.
