Some Fundamentals About Me
I'm a Senior UX Designer who loves solving problems with a love for the intricacies of design systems and UX strategy. I leverage my expertise in building component libraries, writing design system documentation, and crafting simple but scalable solutions to shape user experiences for industry leaders like Costco and FedEx.
I believe it is important to have a strong point of view that separates you from the "empathy/being user centered/having cross functional collaboration is important" vibes that many designers share. Bringing a valuable perspective as a Black designer, I'm passionate about fostering diversity and inclusion within the design community. So from my own personal story, I believe that designers need to spend a lot of time with non-designers to gain additional perspectives to draw from and cultivate diverse interests than stick to voices who share similar backgrounds and demographics.
When I'm Not Designing
Anyway on a lighter note, I am also a blerd who appreciates well designed UX patterns so feel free to ask me about what video game has me hooked. Like can you identify all of the nerdy references in my current desk setup above?
I spend most of my time outside of work honing my superpower on learning how to learn. I’m a huge blerd who is into cooking, specializing in American Southern cooking with global flavors, enjoying a variety of tea (sorry coffee lovers), and relaxing at jimjilbangs and onsens. I love converting my friends into the Asian spa experience to learn how to relax and take things easy!
We’ll get on really well if you are into deckbuilder roguelike games or into fighting games, where I believe these communities showcase how important it is expressing yourself, spending time with people you care about, and practicing on improving one’s self.
