UIUX Designer /Product Designer Email: [email protected] +1 972-924-5835 (Employer), C2C Only, H1B (Passport Number also shared) SUMMARY: UI/UX and Product Designer with 7 + years of total experience, including 3 years in UI/UX and product design and 4 years in front-end development. Strong background in translating complex requirements into intuitive user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes. I am skilled in responsive UI design, usability, accessibility, and design systems using Figma. Brings a developer mindset to design, enabling smooth collaboration and clean, development-ready handoffs. Passionate about solving real-world problems through research-driven and scalable design solutions. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Quantum Fiber Lumen Dec 2022 Until Now Role: UI/UX Designer Played a key role in designing and improving the DSL Fiber self-serve upgrade journey across availability check, plan selection, installation clarity, and checkout sequencing. Reduced upgrade drop-offs at critical decision points by clarifying eligibility, setting installation expectations early, and sequencing information to build confidence before checkout. Shifted a technical upgrade flow into a guided, confidence-driven experience, contributing to increased self-service Fiber upgrade completion. Helped lower upgrade-related support dependency by proactively addressing common customer questions (availability, installation timing, next steps) directly within the flow. Improved plan selection and decision-making by simplifying speed comparisons, pricing clarity, and Most Popular / Price for Life messaging across key purchase screens. Refined core interactive components (speed tiles, CTAs, form inputs, validation, and error states) to reduce hesitation, re-reads, and decision friction across desktop and mobile. Designed and optimized responsive UI screens while maintaining accessibility standards and consistent visual hierarchy. Delivered scalable UX improvements within legacy system constraints, enabling greater self-serve adoption without backend changes or additional operational cost. Acted as the primary UX contributor for journey mapping and confidence modeling, identifying where uncertainty disrupted decision-making in the upgrade flow. Collaborated closely with Product Managers and Engineers to translate UX decisions into clear specifications, align on edge cases, and ensure accurate implementation. Tools: Figma AI Relocation App July 2025 Present Role: Product Designer Design and build an anchor-based relocation mobile application to help professionals and graduates coordinate housing, commute, grocery access, and safety around a fixed client or office location. Conducted primary UX research (interviews, surveys, affinity mapping, personas, empathy maps, and journey maps) to identify coordination gaps and trust barriers across fragmented relocation tools. Translated research insights into structured information architecture and decision-support flow prioritizing clarity, predictability, and user confidence. Created wireframes, interaction flows, and feature explorations in Figma, Adobe XD, and Photoshop to test usability and decision sequencing before high-fidelity design. Applied service design methodologies, including journey mapping and stakeholder workshops, to design end-to-end relocation experiences across multiple touchpoints. Integrated AI-driven trust architecture, including document validation, identity verification, photo/video authenticity checks, and safety scoring to reduce fraud risk and improve platform credibility. Incorporated location intelligence tools (commute estimation, nearby services, essential access) to support context-based housing decisions. Developed service blueprints and future-state experience maps to visualize system interactions and identify opportunity areas for reducing user anxiety. Facilitated structured design thinking workshops with peers and mentors to validate assumptions, refine user flows, and extract actionable insights. Aligned business goals, technical feasibility, and customer feedback into a phased MVP roadmap, prioritizing trust-critical features before expansion features. Documented and presented research findings through reports and pitch decks, positioning the product as a coordination-driven decision system rather than a listing platform.
