Just wanted to get your attention for a few minutes to tell you who I am and why I might be a good fit for Zillow

Projects that you may like to see
Get a glimpse of some projects I have worked on in the past few years.
Why I’d be a good fit
Being one of the only 10 designers,  I have had the chance to own UX for a product area and lead an impactful redesign of the Admin experience, and build some expertise in the process.

I believe I can bring this experience gained from working for an enterprise company to my work at Zillow.
What excites me about Zillow
Buying a new home is such a universal customer journey that most families go through at some point in their life.

This experience can be overwhelming for people and I like how Zillow becomes a buddy in the process and makes the otherwise overwhelming process, more manageable and exciting.
I believe in building trust with PM's and Engineers
As cliche as it sounds but any good product is built by strong collaboration and alignment between product, engineering and design teams, and I engage with both early and often.

As a designer, your skills need to constantly evolve. But this is one skill, I believe would never become irrelevant.
I am…
a product designer working at Box for the past 2 years. I work on features to improve the Admin experience. Previously, I worked at Green Chef, making it easier for people to order their next meal-kit delivery.

The design philosophy that drives me is to adapt systems to ways people think rather than people having to adapt to systems.
I do design
...and some more
My focus is Interaction design and you'll usually find me  thriving in pixels. But I am also heavily involved in product strategy, user research and visual design.
