About

My journey began at IPRH and GameShastra, where hands-on UX/UI work and rapid prototyping taught me to listen to users and turn insights into intuitive experiences.

At LogiGear, I was hired as VP of Design to build a Product Design org but became the sole designer after leadership and parent-company shifts. I owned product, website, and marketing design and, with our Vietnam-based dev team, delivered end-to-end software design and development for clients across industries.

I continuously sharpen my toolkit through AI product design studies at MIT and UX/UI certifications, applying data-informed methods to complex problems.

Today at Kelly Services I lead product design for a diverse client portfolio—creating strategic, user-centered solutions that drive growth and spark technological innovation.

Experience

Experience

I design user-centered products that align business goals with real-world needs, combining BA rigor, and UX strategy to turn research into actionable experiences—dashboards, prototypes, and modular design systems that improve task completion, reduce errors, and speed decisions.

Over the last five years, partnered with product and engineering, aligned stakeholders, and applied data-driven design, accessibility, and iterative testing to deliver scalable dashboards, prototypes, design systems, and AI products that improved user satisfaction and business outcomes.
