Life is fleeting, and what we leave behind matters. For me, it's the experiences I've contributed to, experiences that bring positive change to others. I'm a builder at heart, finding immense satisfaction in delivering products that genuinely impact people's lives. In today's exponential world, good design is the X factor that can make or break a product's success. In this context, I see myself as more of a design thinking advocate. I may not be a skilled artist, coder, or 'designer,' but I firmly believe that good design is a collaborative effort, not limited to designers alone. Design thinking is a discipline, a process that engineers, product managers, researchers, and many others can practice and refine. If you're still intrigued, I'm eager to discuss how I can contribute.

    uniE621 Vibe Cloud Canvas
    #designer
    uniE621 Vibe Smart Board
    Vibe is a Seattle-based technology startup that provides a versatile remote and hybrid collaboration solution, similar to Microsoft Surface and Google Jamboard, while ensuring users aren't tied to a specific ecosystem. I served as the Head of Design at Vibe from 2019 to 2021, where we developed large tablet-like devices for in-office and remote collaboration, akin to Microsoft Surface. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, we witnessed a surge in interest from schools across the USA seeking insights into our devices. Recognizing the potential, we swiftly realized that Vibe Boards could significantly benefit classrooms from K2 to universities by providing a scalable solution for remote learning. This shift prompted our design team to generate diverse solutions tailored to the varied personas now relying on our remote learning platform. Our challenge involved accommodating teachers using Vibe Boards in classrooms, while simultaneously catering to students accessing the learning experience from mobile devices and computers. The goal was to ensure our total remote learning solution seamlessly integrated with both our hardware and any mobile device. I take pride in having played a role in assisting our education customers in meeting their remote learning needs during the challenging years brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    uniE621 Facebook CRM
    Facebook CRM, now known as Facebook Business, was originally created as an in-house application to reduce reliance on Salesforce. Facebook aimed to have a CRM that seamlessly integrated with the extensive customer data it possessed, leading to the development of an internal solution. I had the privilege of serving as the lead designer for this endeavor.
    uniE621 Bang Website
    Amid the Crypto Boom in 2020, I had the opportunity to be part of the initial launch of a Web3 social platform built on the Terra Blockchain, known as the Bang! project. Its mission was to democratize access, enabling partnerships with major international brands to provide a platform for emerging artists. My responsibilities included defining the initial product scope, guiding the art direction, and creating prototype wireframes. Unfortunately, the project didn't progress due to the Terra/Luna collapse. Nevertheless, this brief experience was a valuable introduction to Web3 for me, and I'm proud of what our team accomplished in such a short timeframe. #webdesigner
    uniE621 WorkSpan Complete App Design
    Workspan offers a partner ecosystem management platform, designed to enhance collaboration and streamline partner relationship management for businesses. As the initial design leader at Workspan, my two-year tenure saw a complete revamp of the front-end user experience. We accomplished this by embracing Material UI as our foundational design system. With a mobile-first approach in mind, we reimagined the entire platform, using a fluid grid system to ensure seamless functionality across both mobile and web interfaces. #designer
