I love designing and creating innovative products that solve people's problems.
This started at age 8 with the Barbie Bag, my very first product design.
The idea was born from a Barbie-related “pain point:” I needed better way to organize my extensive collection of easily lost Barbie doll accessories (ie. tiny plastic shoes and matching plastic handbags). After considering my limited options (Ziploc bags, which were decidedly unattractive to my 8-year-old eyes), I felt I could do better.
To craft the Barbie Bag: I first sketched and cut a simple bag pattern out of yellow construction paper using a black marker. Then, with safety scissors, I used the pattern to cut the bag design out of dark green felt (the only color I had on hand).
Finally, I sewed it together with my Hello Kitty sewing machine and – voila! – my very first Barbie Bag was born. The stitching may have been a tad wonky and the seams uneven (it’s hard to cut cloth with safety scissors and even harder to sew on a hand-cranked sewing machine), but I was still very proud of my overall efforts.
So where did the Barbie Bag ultimately lead? Today, I'm a seasoned product innovator and designer, UX strategist, and tech enthusiast.
In addition to helping 150+ products reach the market, I have built talented user experience teams, rolled out successful product UX strategies, and re-engineered user experience and usability processes for companies, ranging from Fortune 500s to startups.
What I can do for you:
* New product conceptualization
* Product design (flows, wireframes, and mockups for web, desktop, and mobile apps)
* Next generation product designs and refreshes
* User experience strategy
* Design thinking
* Usability studies
* Market research
