About

The long version is still in drafts. Until it lands, here’s the résumé — the same eight years, told in the format that expects bullet points.

Honolulu, HI UX/UI & front-end

Summary

UX designer with 8+ years shaping enterprise SaaS products across AVM, property analytics, reporting, and data-heavy workflow platforms. I bridge product and engineering across the release cycle, translating requirements and user needs into clearer task flows, wireframes, Figma prototypes, interaction models, and production UI implementation.

My work focuses on simplifying complex user journeys, strengthening design systems, and balancing customer empathy with business goals and technical feasibility.

Outside design

Outside of design, I enjoy digging into psychology and exploring what human interaction is all about. I’m interested in the small details that make something feel intuitive, human, or unexpectedly delightful. Or maybe I just want to find more interesting ways to see the world.

When I’m not online, you’ll probably find me either eating, exploring somewhere new, or finding ways to bring more fun into the everyday life.

Experience

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. Role progression through acquisitions: Collateral Analytics → Black Knight → ICE

Cross-functional UX/UI ownership across AVM, property analytics, and reporting products for bankers, appraisers, real estate agents, and enterprise business users. Work spans the full release cycle — requirements discovery and prototyping through development, QA, UAT, production release testing, and post-release fixes.

Engineer I, UX/UI Design

ICE Mortgage Technology Aug 2023 – Jul 2026

  • Designed a unified authentication and account migration experience across multiple AVM and market analytics products, enabling 84% self-service migration and reducing support contacts by over 90%.
  • Partnered with Product Managers and Directors to clarify requirements, define reasonable product scope, and validate final UX direction through Figma prototypes, demos, and design reviews.
  • Collaborated with engineers to understand application structure, backend constraints, and implementation feasibility before taking ownership of production UI implementation.
  • Worked across QA, UAT, and release cycles with QA analysts, data analysts, and business stakeholders to test workflows, gather client feedback, prioritize fixes, and support production release validation.
  • Served as a shared UX/UI resource across teams, designing icons, graphics, dashboard UI, and PDF report layouts for property analytics and reporting products outside my primary product area.

UX/UI Designer II

Black Knight, Inc. Mar 2020 – Aug 2023

  • Designed the original interface for a market-share analytics platform that scaled from flagship client pilot to production, with a 60% test-to-production conversion rate.
  • Simplified complex search workflows using progressive disclosure, contextual states, tooltips, and validation feedback to reduce cognitive load and clarify system behavior.
  • Refined reporting experiences through stronger information hierarchy, reusable UI patterns, and documented behavior across states, edge cases, and data-heavy views.
  • Translated design intent into production-ready UI details, clarifying interaction behavior across states, edge cases, and data-heavy views.

User Interface Developer

Collateral Analytics Nov 2017 – Mar 2020

  • Designed and shipped 0-to-1 product interfaces from early wireframes to final UI in close partnership with engineering.
  • Built responsive web and hybrid mobile experiences as product and technical frameworks evolved.
  • Translated complex real estate data into clearer dashboards, search flows, and workflow-driven interfaces for enterprise users.
