Resume: Staff Product Designer & Design Engineer

11 years of experience in design systems, enterprise tools and AI-assisted workflows. I work across product design and front-end engineering. My systems reach 100+ designers at Indeed and product teams across Toyota, and I build accessibility into every component I ship.

What I’m looking for

I’m looking for a long-term role where I design and write code on the same team. I do my best work on challenging problems at scale, where I can see the real impact of what I ship.

I stay when the work is engaging and the team is close. At Visa I stayed more than four years and was promoted. Several of my recent roles ended with a contract, a budget or a team. I want to settle into a company, contribute to its culture and grow with it.
