User Experience Team Lead, City of Seattle IT
Asking questions and solving problems that revolve around business and people motivates me. I've worked on teams and independently and do both well, though I thrive in a collaborative environment where I can apply my participatory leadership, which is very effective for creative teams.
My expertise in design thinking combined with my excellent people skills, make me an asset to any team.
Human-centered design and research are my compass. I've learned that research and testing help support or redefine the project scope and are necessary for a solution that meets the users and business needs.
