Each project varies in length — from six weeks to two years. No matter the client, from the research phase through to wireframing, I try to find solutions that are technically feasible and meet the unique needs of diverse stakeholders.​ I take a proactive approach to collaboration and a holistic understanding of the human-centered design process.

Prior to joining Avanade, I worked at a corporate communications agency that specializes in issues management for more than six years. This period offered me the chance to work for stints in London and Tokyo, and exposure to these different cultures broadened my perspective. Working on these high-stakes assignments also instilled in me the importance of a proactive approach and attention to detail.

While transitioning from working in communications to UX required learning new skills, I believe there is a shared underlying principle: conveying information in the clearest way possible, while keeping in mind the unique needs of the audience you’re trying to reach.
