I’m experienced in a wide range of tools that support the full design process, from research and ideation through testing, collaboration, and developer handoff. Figma is my primary design tool and the platform I use most extensively for creating wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, design systems, and responsive experiences.
My broader toolkit includes Jira, Asana, Adobe Experience Manager, Maze, GitHub, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Target, Confluence, Hotjar, Miro, Microsoft Office and more. I use these tools to support user research and testing, project management, collaboration, content management, analytics, design production, and communication with cross-functional teams. Together, these tools allow me to effectively manage projects and contribute throughout the entire UX design lifecycle.
