About me

SUMMARY

I am a seasoned designer with over seven years of experience. My expertise spans developing design systems and delivering scalable frameworks that support efficient development, in addition to creating print and digital assets to support a cohesive brand image  across different platforms.

I’ve worked extensively with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and researchers, ensuring that the user experience aligns with business goals while maintaining high design standards.

At Dexcom, I led the development of design systems for new products such as Stelo.com, streamlining processes and facilitating collaboration among teams. I’ve also created custom iconography, illustrations, and user interfaces, ensuring a human-centered design across platforms.

My work involves driving end-to-end design, from concept to execution. With a deep understanding of emerging technologies and a passion for innovation, I bring a research-driven approach to design, using data to inform decisions and create meaningful, impactful user experiences.
