Statement of Intent
I am seeking full time employment as an interaction designer and want to work on products
used by other designers. My aspiration is to develop new and innovative tools to help
creative people realize their visions while being more productive and having more fun then
they thought possible.

Associate Interaction Designer
January 2012
- Current
Work with stakeholders across different business units and product teams to design and
deploy internal enterprise-wide tools as well as customer facing services. Utilizing a
tactical, agency like approach, my team and I cover the gamut of the design process: we
frame problems, gather requirements, orchestrate primary and secondary research, conduct
competitive analysis, plan and facilitate workshops, create wireframes, develop
prototypes, create visuals, test and iterate on designs, and collaborate with engineers in
an agile environment to bring new products to users
