As an experienced UX designer seeking to become a product manager, I understand the value of
putting users first and developing solutions that delight them. For the past 4 years, I have
applied human-centered design methodologies to gain deep insights into users’ experiences,
challenges and motivations. I have conducted research, designed prototypes, and iterated
with empathy and care, ensuring that every product and interface benefitted users and
aligned with business goals.
Some of the frameworks that shape my approach include Design Thinking, Lean UX and Agile, as
well as thought leaders like Don Norman, Alan Cooper and Richard Banfield. Their concepts of
mapping affordances, designing feedback loops and building personas have influenced how I
evaluate ease of use, intuitiveness and overall impact. I also follow leaders in growth
hacking, analytics, UX research and product management to keep learning and advancing
evidence-based strategies.
What I bring
Growth Mindset
I believe in constant learning and iteration to develop solutions of increasing sophistication and impact. I adapt based on insights and evolving best practices.
Strong Communication
I can discuss complex ideas with both subject matter experts and cross-functional teams in a clear, concise yet compassionate manner. I convey insights, strategies, requirements and priorities persuasively yet objectively.
Careful Listening
I have honed my listening skills through conducting in-depth user interviews, evaluating feedback and building empathy. I deeply understand diverse perspectives before determining solutions.
Strategic and critical thinking
Experience evaluating options against user needs and key metrics from multiple angles has strengthened my ability to think strategically and critically about opportunities, challenges, product requirements and ROI.
Curious
Curiosity drives empathy and insight. Developing an innate curiosity about users, their experiences, challenges, motivations and needs leads to a deep empathetic understanding. This insight then shapes impactful solutions. Curiosity opens minds and sees problems from multiple perspectives.
Creativity
Creativity fuels innovative and compelling solutions. Theability to think outside the box and make new connections between ideas is key to pioneering concepts and tools that provide real value and delight users. Creativity fosters progress through fresh perspectives and problem-solving approaches.
