About

UX Engineer with 10+ years bridging design and front-end engineering. Specializes in translating user research and design intent into production-ready, accessible interfaces — owning the full arc from interaction design and prototyping through component implementation and design-system governance. Deeply committed to human-centered, inclusive experiences that meet WCAG 2.0/2.1 standards.

Experience

Senior UX Engineer at EAB (2022-09 – 2025-07)

  • Drove iterative usability and accessibility improvements across a large-scale legacy product, owning the shared UI component library as both a design and engineering artifact (WCAG 2.0/2.1).
  • Designed user-facing data-collection flows for student feedback, balancing information density with minimal cognitive load — a core UX engineering trade-off.
  • Translated ambiguous stakeholder requirements into concrete, testable design options, accelerating alignment and reducing revision cycles.
  • Led the removal of a third-party UI framework, establishing the foundation for a cohesive, maintainable design system.

UX Engineer at World Book (2018-06 – 2022-09)

  • Collaborated with designers across product lines, contributing interaction design and layout thinking alongside implementation.
  • Designed Unity-based game UIs for young learners, applying principles of cognitive load reduction and progressive disclosure.
  • Audited and remediated legacy products for WCAG 2.0 compliance; embedded accessibility into all new work from the outset.
