Cat is a Designer
in New York City
👋🏻 I'm currently UX-ing at Amazon
As of May 2021, I joined Amazon in the Selling Partner Experience, my partner team is Business Data Technologies. I work on internal data tools to serve Amazon's needs. Amazon houses 768 Petabytes of data, and my focus is providing value to all data producers and consumers.
My background is in Art Studio and Visual Design. I've been in the design technology space in NYC for over fifteen years. The past seven years before Amazon (2014-2021), I was self-employed and specialize in interfaces for Native iOS and cross-platform Design Systems frameworks.
I've spent the majority of those years on a suite of seventeen native applications for Enterprise Fortune 200 client, est. total ROI $17M. Projects range from data visualization for operational, analytical dashboards for C-Suite, asset management software, and live data engineering applications. Aside from ten years in enterprise designs, I've worked with commercial products for seven years prior in a wide range of companies and have earned press mentions from Adobe, TechCrunch, Engadget, Gizmodo, Huffington Post, and Business Insider. Year to date, I've shipped over 20 native mobile apps.
On my free time, I partner with Adobe to teach and demonstrate designing for mobile on Adobe Live and mentor designers through a variety of phases of their careers. My passion lies in the unknown, data science, 3D modeling AR/VR, video gaming, cats, and art.

Mantras
I'm your partner
I am an asset that contributes to team’s velocity for impact driven results. I possess the initiative, leadership, mentoring ability, and attention to detail to execute a successful project strategy.
Design is in the Details
You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to get rid of the parts that are not essential. With the drive to immerse and learn, I am committed to producing quality work.
Forward-thinking solutions
I uncover the unmet needs of the target user and marry ideas between technology and requirements for business success. I invest strategically in areas that provide measurable long-term value in authentic user satisfaction, lowering tech debt, and increase universal accessibility.
Radical candor, I promise.
Gaining a deep understanding by listening from all informed views is my strength. I implement pragmatic, rational strategies to adhere to project constraints while maintaining the user’s needs by speaking their language. I practice intentional design with honesty.
