Jun 2019 - Present (5 years 5 months)
My responsibilities include leading user experience and digital interface design for member-facing digital products. I am managing a team of product designers and visual designers as we employ design thinking and user-centered design approaches to digital experiences for our senior adult audience. I also provide consultation to cross-discipline teams and outside vendors.
I have helped establish design systems thinking and accessibility & inclusion standards and best practices in the discipline. Additionally, I helped establish design operations as we built a team from the ground up—which includes, recruiting, hiring and people management; setting our practice workflows and methodologies; and defining team objectives and principles.
