UX Designer
Headed all the design processes in a FinTech web application development project in an agile environment. Conducted UX workshops with product owners and stakeholders to document product/user requirements while illustrating personas, creating wireframes and high fidelity prototypes, and designing interactions. Proposed and got buy-ins for the inclusion of a design system in the design and development process to facilitate the move to SCSS from CSS. Created and maintained the team’s design system from the ground up and coordinated with them to refine the overall user experience of the application. Supported the move to SCSS by holding workshops and helping the team familiarize themselves with the new handoff process.
