ABOUT

Beyond Pixels UX Consulting focuses on co-creating changes and social impact.

I am a seasoned UX designer, researcher, and creative problem-solver thriving in complex ecosystems.

My UX Approaches

I’m passionate about applying my design skills to create a positive social impact. I want to build better futures for humanity, society, and the planet.

As a UX strategist, I strive to create simple & elegant design solutions grounded in user research with human-centered design (HCD) methodologies. I deeply listen to stakeholders and end users to understand their needs and contexts. I facilitate collaboration across organizational structures and roles and identify improvement opportunities.

My Leadership Style

I’m an empathetic mentor and coach. I believe mentoring young designers is a critical contribution seasoned designers can make. Mentorship can be a trust-based learning opportunity for both mentees and mentors. I highly value continuous learning through peer mentorship and coaching.

My leadership style is like gardening. I create the environment for my team to thrive in by providing water, nutrients, and protection. Watching smart, hard-working people flourish at work is a joy.
