Gap year
Mar 2023—Now
I took an offer for a year of severance after the S&P merger to take some time off! I’ve travelled across the US and Europe, gotten married, and relocated to DC where my partner works for NASA. I’m now looking for new product design and UX opportunities. I’ve made sure to keep up with new figma features and releases, and am excited to apply them to my next role.
UX Designer
S&P Global (previously IHS Markit)
March 2020 - March 2023
As a UX designer at IHS Markit I designed visualizations and interface workflows for investment strategies, both for those with little financial experience and for users who work entirely in finance. I built products to guide users through complicated processes, planning for their future goals. I developed intuitive ways to parse financial data. By working with product owners and our in house teams we provided cutting-edge experiences for our users. In this role I iterated on designs - going from lo-fi wireframes all the way through to development-ready mock ups, conducted user research, prototyped, and supported development teams through our process.
