I started my UX career 15 years ago in Sydney, Australia as a usability consultant. Prior to getting into UX, I worked as digital media strategist at media companies and worked in retail selling shirts whilst I was completing my Masterโs degree. When I moved to New York, I found a job as an Information Architect working at DraftFCB on Healthcare brands. At Akamai Technologies, I was hired as a product manager on the ADS (advertising decisions solutions) team to improve the user experience of their internal-facing platform. My last job was at MediaMath, I worked there for 10 years and during this time I rose through the ranks from a product manager to become a UXD manager.
I am currently exploring new opportunities, deepen my understanding around conversation design, UX writing and my c-suite skills. During this period of transition and discovery, I want to give back and mentor junior and mid-level designers.
