Work

Senior Product Designer @Tableau | 2015 - Present

Tableau Design Team:

I provide leadership across company and org wide efforts, including:

  • Leading a company wide effort to improve our design practice by creating, piloting and rolling out a design process template for teams of designers, PMs and engineers.

  • Engage local and international Tableau interest groups through talks and presentations focused on our core technologies and design practices.

  • Co-initiate efforts to increase designers’ productivity across Tableau’s Design Org.

  • Actively participate at all stages of the hiring pipeline, from candidate review, to interviews and hire recommendations.

  • Constantly build and maintain relationships with management teams and peers from other orgs across different offices in North America.

  • Drive ideas to increase morale on the Palo Alto design team.

Ask Data:

Leading design on an awesome team of engineers and designers tasked with broadening Tableau’s reach and reducing the barrier to analytics. Using Natural Language Processing technology, we designed and built a brand new experience called Ask Data.

Tableau Services Manager:

Came in shortly after user research to lead design on a mission critical product. Successfully building Tableau Services Manager meant Tableau could scale its business to bigger enterprise customers. We designed and built a web console that drastically improved the experience for Server Admins, who manage Tableau Server deployments on both Windows and Linux environments.

Tableau Public:

Led designs across multiple features to build and engage Tableau’s community of Data Storytellers.

Vizable:

Came in shortly after a POC was built. I led designs focused on turning innovative research-based insights into a final usable product on an iPad. I convinced the team to achieve our stretch goal of releasing an iPhone app. Our work was recognized as one of the most innovative apps of 2016.


UX Designer & Researcher @GaTech | 2013 - 2015

Aggie2.0 - Social Media Tracking System:

I was part of the research and design team that worked on the redesign of Aggie - a platform that helps organizations track and aggregate escalating issues within a geographical region. This system was specifically used to monitor elections with a goal of bringing transparency to the electoral process.


Product Designer @Schoolzilla | May 2014 - Aug 2016

www.schoolzilla.com & University of California:

Helped the leadership team forge a clear product path through design research and early design explorations.
