I was one of the founding design team members in a zero to one startup environment. I launched an MVP website and scaled it to a multi-brand platform. Within the first year I performed foundational duties that included co-creating and maintaining Candy’s design system library, building cross-functional relationships, and mentoring junior designers in UX craft.
In my primary role as Lead Product Designer for user engagement initiatives, I led the end-to-end process for projects focused on keeping Candy’s customers coming back to interact and grow their collection. I was embedded with project managers and engineers to maintain UX integrity through conception, iteration, and design spec delivery.
