HIGHLIGHTS
A new design practice
Started as the only designer and built out RTS Labs' first UX/UI function. Figured out how design showed up in pitches, discovery, and delivery across the consultancy.
Design operations
Set up the way we ran discovery, design, and research. Built the rituals, templates, and handoff standards that helped land several multi-million-dollar contracts.
30+ shipped products
Lead designer across finance, education, logistics, energy, and emerging tech. Moved fast from discovery to launch without dropping quality.
Team culture of craft
Grew the team from one to four designers and built a culture that actually cared about critique, craft, and curiosity. That showed up in every project we touched.
