I have been a UXPA International member for years. More recently I started to serve as a mentor (2022) and UXPA International Conference Committee member in 2023 and 2024.
I was the Conference Chair for UX Career Development & Management track for the Austin 2023 UXPA International conference. I am the Conference Chair for UX Leadership track for the 2024 Fort Lauderedale UXPA International Conference. My main contribution as a Chair includes reviewing, selecting submissions and advocating for best submissions and supporting conference planning activities.
iXDA SF | Event planning & Youtube initiative lead
Worked with co-leads to develop a video strategy, including a refresh of our iXDA SF YouTube channel.
Worked with iXDA SF chapter leads and Fitbit to live stream local Redux '19 event in April 2019 in the Fitbit office. Worked with leads and team to upload the playlist on YouTube.
We promoted and launched the channel by streaming the sold out event, moderating and fielding questions from the stream. We live-streamed it with over 600 views to date.
As for the channel itself, we saw a big increase in the number of subscribers, growing from less than 40 to 192 within just 3 months.
AirHelp | UX Design project
Created a POC signature proposal that keeps the user in the app removing the need to use email to complete a task, minimizing cognitive load and reducing overall time to completion from ~11 to ~5 minutes.
Peerlibrary | UX and outreach
Created a user flow and presented potential barriers to adoption based on research I conducted with students and professors. Informed creation of a written user guide. Managed outreach and helped with grant applications. Obtained a letter of support from Internet Archive.
Space Unicorn| Game development
I love video games, so I decided to develop my own game with Game Maker: Studio using a tutorial and the help of a good friend who is a great illustrator.
