I kicked off my journey as a product designer in an agency. Then I dove headfirst into the wild world of startups, where I learned that without revenue, even the best designs are like beautiful cars without gas. Eventually, I landed in a Fortune 500 company, where I found a way to blend creativity with cold, hard business strategy. Now I'm back in the agency world and I couldn't be more geeked about it. I'm ready to use my professional and lived experiences to create impactful products.

Senior Product Designer
2022 – 2024
As a Senior Product Designer, I led the team to build cohesive and organized experiences throughout the Kroger Health product suite. My primary goal was to help product teams understand that users view the Kroger Health experience as a connected health ecosystem, rather than as separate product spaces. I leveraged atomic and pattern-based design systems, along with research tools like UX audits, competitive analysis, and both moderated and unmoderated interviews, to build these foundations and convey the north star vision to the product trio and key stakeholders.

Product Designer
2018 – 2022
As a Product Designer at Kroger Technologies, I had the opportunity to work on multiple product teams. This allowed me to expand my understanding and skills in design systems and encourage their adoption by various teams. Leveraging an atomic design approach, I partnered with teams to create designs for new form factors. I also explored innovative ways to communicate user needs and wants while building business value through creative presentations and more. This experience enriched my ability to deliver user-centered solutions and foster collaboration across the organization.

UX/UI Designer
2017 – 2018
During this time, I gained a wide range of skills and experiences. Freelancing taught me how to pitch my work and write proposals to land projects. I designed everything from simple landing pages to fully developed mobile apps. Concurrently, I joined the Samplepop team as their sole designer for a brief period. There, I helped establish their digital brand, built multiple products and websites, and assisted with sales decks. I look back at this year as one of the quickest of my life and am very grateful for the opportunity to work with so many incredible people and startups.

UI Designer & Jr. Art Director
2014 – 2017
Working at Mabbly changed my life in the greatest way possible; it was where I found my career. I started as an intern for two months and quickly leveraged my design skills and eagerness to learn. I mastered Sketch 3 the month it was released and found my design mentor, Ogi (now CEO of Kroon Studios), who taught me that there's more to UX/UI than just .sketch and .psd files. I had the opportunity to have my UI designs critiqued by amazing designers in Ukraine and Serbia. Later, I focused on mastering the art of writing briefs and communicating the purpose of design. I will forever be thankful to Mabbly and all the incredible talent there.
