Communicated with cross- functional teams and stakeholders to share strategic framework vision, goals, and value proposition. Introduced cloud asset management.
For me, a designer and a manager, the work is about the efficiency of the design and development process, making time to constructively evaluate results and time to make improvements. Then to test again. From concept to product launch I work with teams to validate and incur success every step of the way. Ideation, iteration, collaboration and prototyping solutions for the target audience.
My goals and professional aspirations include confidently achieving success in every project.
