My Role

My Role

I worked primarily as the Lead UX Designer over a four year period on the Color Kinetics software team. During this time I took this project from 0 to 1 as we worked through discovery, to initial beta and feedback, iterations in between to launch.


For a 2 year period, I also worked a dual role as a product owner. Keeping leadership informed on timelines, setting roadmaps, managing teams allocation and more.
