About​

Connecting the dots between complex data and human experiences to build seamless service ecosystems.

I’m a UX Researcher & Service Designer with a background in Industrial Engineering.

Experience

June 2025 – Dec 2025

Intuit
Plano, TX

UX/UI Designer I (Contract)

I was brought on to tackle a critical service gap in the tax professional ecosystem, moving beyond simple UI fixes to solve a complex churn problem.

  • Strategic Service Design: Architected the “ideal state” 7-stage customer journey map, identifying that a lack of “trust signals” caused critical conversion drop-offs. This work directly influenced the FY26 product roadmap.
  • Mixed-Methods Research: Executed 30+ interviews and surveys (N=468), leveraging R and Python to correlate user trust with referral behavior. Validated that a “concierge” handoff model could increase acceptance rates to ~90%.
Jan 2023 – May 2025

BRBytes
Baton Rouge, LA

User Experience Analyst

BRBytes is a statewide EdTech initiative serving 15,000+ students. I transitioned from an instructor role to leading the product’s user experience strategy.

  • Product Strategy: Led the end-to-end UX strategy, conducting competitive analysis and partnering with Engineering to ensure design feasibility and faster implementation.
  • Live User Research: Conducted longitudinal usability studies with a live cohort of 96 active users, utilizing the classroom environment to gather real-time feedback and iteratively refine the UI.
Aug 2022- Dec 2022

Crown Equipment Corporation
New Bremen, OH

Design Researcher (Co-op)

I worked within the Design Center to bridge the gap between complex industrial workflows and digital tools, focusing on the service ecosystem.

  • Strategic Research: Executed a massive qualitative study (N=76) across 7 departments to diagnose adoption failures in the “Crown 360” service app. I utilized a “Value Bucket” framework to translate hundreds of raw complaints into a prioritized engineering roadmap.
  • Hardware/Software Strategy: Collaborated with design leadership to set the future design strategy for in-vehicle forklift displays, defining new standards to balance information density with operator safety.
2018 – 2021

Industrial Engineering & Strategy (Grouped)
India

Industrial Engineering & Process Strategy

Prior to transitioning into UX, I spent 3 years in manufacturing operations, where I developed my “Systems Thinking” approach to design.

  • Harish Industries (Junior Manager): Developed a service blueprint for the order-to-dispatch process, achieving a 20% reduction in delivery delays. Applied Six Sigma to optimize workflows for a 35-person team.
  • Razen Motors & Shreyas Enterprises (Intern): Conducted value stream mapping and ethnographic studies to streamline B2B service delivery and product quality.
August 2021 – May 2022

LSU Environmental Health and Safety Department (EHS)
Baton Rouge, LA

Graduate Assistant- Part-Time

I worked to transform the university’s safety portal from a static repository into a rapid-response tool for thousands of researchers, focusing on high-stakes usability.

  • Emergency Response UX: Redesigned the information architecture for the emergency reporting flow, achieving an 87% reduction in time-on-task (from ~106s down to ~14s).
  • Compliance Optimization: Digitized record-keeping systems to remove navigation bottlenecks, ensuring faster access to safety certifications for university staff.
  • Service Auditing: Conducted physical safety audits to map the “offline” user journey, ensuring digital safety protocols matched real-world laboratory conditions.
