It’s not easy to summarize 20 years of UX. Many of the projects I personally led as a designer are listed below. Some I could not share.

For the last decade, I’ve been mainly focused on establishing powerhouse UX teams within enterprise organizations. Each opportunity is different, therefore each solution is different. My experiences of being brought into newly forming and existing UX teams are fascinating. I’d love to share those with you!

Let’s talk!
