Nice to meet you! I am a product designer with a background in front end development & data visualization.
As a designer, I am passionate about creating user-centered solutions to solve complex problems. I am well versed in industry design tools like Figma & JS based web development, which allows me to effectively collaborate with engineers & stakeholders to create beautiful interfaces.
For me design isn’t just about pushing pixels, it’s about the process of getting there. I am experienced in user research, journey mapping, competitive analysis, product strategy as well as facilitating cross-functional collaboration. Having both deep empathy for my user’s needs while understanding technical constraints gives me a unique point of view that allows me to help product managers prioritize the right features, setup milestones and measurements of success.
This is especially important while working with Data Visualization, where data and technical constraints can often affect product feasibility.
My journey to product design is an interesting one - I was working as a Data Visualization Developer at Dropbox, where I discovered UX design. Over time, I took the lead as my team’s Product Designer where we built internal tools focused on data visualization to serve Dropbox’s sales teams. I am focused on innovation - finding competitive advantages, working through technical challenges and leveraging data to solve user problems.
To take my design skills to the next level, I enrolled at UC Berkeley Extension from where I recently received a Professional Certificate in UX Design.
Subsequently I worked at Palo Alto Networks as a Senior UX Designer, where I designed dashboards and PDF reports to visualize network & threat data for their Prisma SASE product line. I helped create a unified design language and streamlined reporting framework which allowed engineering to create reusable templates and reduce overhead costs. This lead to highly interactive dashboards which were integrated into user’s troubleshooting workflows yet were easily exportable into high quality PDFs to share with external stakeholders.
At Chronosphere, I lead the design for the dashboards work stream, where we built a native dashboarding solution (0 -> 1) to replace Grafana. The resulting framework “Perses” was released as an open source solution and adopted by other tech companies. Relative to its competitors, Perses is designed to be a light weight solution that simplifies authoring and editing dashboards by providing a seamless experience. Additionally, I co-lead the design system and was responsible for creating and maintaining figma components, typography and colors.
