Work Experience

Lead Brand / Web / Motion Designer
2024 — Now

Lead Designer
2019 — Now
Acts2 Network, Alameda, CA
  • Led design efforts in merging two core apps for a client. Talked to different constituents to discover clear use- cases (and gaps within current app). Created a design system while designed the app from the ground up to address issues, while also delivering new features.
    • Led efforts in re-branding and redesigning the main website (~10k page-views/week) and its sister site. Set overall direction, and created design system to make both sites consistent-yet-different. Aligned main stakeholders to key objectives and priorities. Led a small team of designers and developers in building it all out.
    • Worked on two fully immersive websites. I worked closely with stakeholders to determine the goals, then led a small UX team to lay out the designs. Through rounds of feedback and user-testing, I worked closely with other departments (dev, video, graphic design, illustrators) to finish the job.
