Hi there!
Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped organizations across SaaS, tax compliance, sports, and real estate sectors transform operations through user-centered design. My expertise blends UX and UI design, user research, design systems, and product strategy, always focused on turning friction into clarity.
I started in software development, where I became fascinated by the intersection of technology and human behavior. This led me to product design, where I’ve since led initiatives across complex ecosystems — from prototyping and usability testing to full-scale digital transformations.
I’m currently at Sovos, designing the compliance products that take the platform into new markets, and pursuing an MBA in Project Management to keep aligning business process design with user outcomes.

Experience
Senior Product Designer
Sovos
Dec 2024 - PresentWilmington, Massachusetts, USEnterprise tax compliance platform processing 500M+ transactions annually.
CN Plus · UAE e-invoicing
- Owned the full UX vision for CN Plus, the product enabling Sovos’s entry into the UAE e-invoicing compliance market — sole designer across invoice creation, bulk submission, master data and transaction detail, on a Peppol 5-corner flow reported to the Federal Tax Authority.
- Designed invoice creation around ~115 mandatory PINT AE-1 fields, replacing a screen that surfaced ~20. Chose a single-page form with collapsible sections over a multi-step wizard, and pre-filled the document-context questions to remove an entire screen from the flow.
- Defined the master data model for CN Plus: two entities separating tenant-level supplier records from company-scoped buyer records, with country-adaptive detail views under a single listing.
- Designed new interaction patterns inside the Mosaic design system (MUI) with no custom components: field-level explainers, non-error guidance prompts, and field-level error breakdowns for bulk upload.
Research & process
- Built a proxy research program for a market with no live users: recruited active-invoicing customers in Peru through segmented Pendo guides and ran moderated Spanish-language sessions, after unmoderated testing failed to reach a viable pool.
- Ran design ahead of the engineering sprint, delivering interactive HTML prototypes as the working source of truth for a distributed team in India across an 8-hour time-zone gap, with Figma for handoff and documentation.
- Established a UX sign-off process with engineering after designs were being shown to customers before validation, closing a governance gap that had no owner.
- Delivered two parallel design directions for the draft workspace so engineering stayed unblocked while an architectural dispute between two product teams was resolved.
Platform & e-commerce
- Led the redesign of pricing pages and landing experiences for Sovos e-commerce, contributing to $300-350K revenue above forecast and a 65% year-over-year reduction in support contact volume.
- Led the UX redesign of the Sovos Taxify platform, serving 1,000+ enterprise clients globally, focusing on streamlining complex tax compliance workflows.
- Conducted stakeholder interviews and usability audits to identify critical pain points in multi-jurisdictional tax processes.
