I'm a UX design leader with nearly a decade of experience at Amazon, where I most recently served as Senior UX Manager and led a 15-person multidisciplinary team shaping Kids & Family products for Fire tablets, Kindle, Echo, FireTV, and iOS/Android. Since 2020, I've deepened my Japanese fluency, earned a Project Management certification, and launched Iguanahouse, a portfolio of iOS and iPadOS apps I design and ship using a structured, six-agent AI-augmented workflow. My projects include a ragdoll physics game co-created with an 11-year-old user, an interval training app with BLE treadmill control and HealthKit integration, and a Japanese calligraphy app featuring AI-powered stroke grading. I'm ready to bring this methodology, and everything I built and learned leading teams at Amazon, into a senior design or design leadership role.
