At the intersection of Art & Design
I deeply care about the mission of the Fed and have demonstrated a tireless pursuit of making things better for the people we serve. I am an accomplished user experience leader who has continually built new partnerships across the organization and established new industry standards and services to meet business opportunities. As an expert design engineer I have managed enterprise scale application design strategies, facilitated executive leadership design thinking sessions, and coached professionals on how to deliver value and sustain a culture of innovation.

UX at the Fed
I met Kevin Liang in 2020 and featured him on our internal UX Micro-Series, where he spoke to us about UXR Leadership. In turn, he asked if I would be interested in being featured on his YouTube channel. I was honored, and spoke to him about how I got into the UX field and what UX is like at the Fed.
