I recently caught up with Alex Smith, Co-Founder at Fuego UX on their Design Leader Insights Podcast to chat shop on what it looks like to design for law enforcement.

I had the pleasure of joining forces with other UX leaders to speak at UXDX Conference.

I recently got invited to talk at UX Live. The focus of my talk was designing for public safety, why it’s different, and a practical example.

I joined up with TDA Creative for the Future of Design Forum to share some of the lessons I’ve learned in my career that helped me gain new perspectives.

Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Seth Coelen on The Product Design Podcast by UX Cabin. During the interview, I shared some insights on how to take your career to the next level and build a name for yourself in the industry.

I’m officially a member of the ADPList mentor club! As a mentor, I have the privilege of guiding designers from over 40 countries with portfolio reviews, mock interviews, career, and leadership advice.

Dear 2020, you didn’t go to plan. But that’s OK. I don’t blame you.

4 weeks ago; I lost a job I loved, a team that I believed in, an annual bonus, and my US immigration status. Today I accepted a dream job offer. I wanted to write something about that experience. What I learned, how I felt, and the process of finding a job in a global pandemic.

Tuesday, March 31, I lost my job, alongside 349 teammates due to the spread of COVID-19.

I could have planned this better…

More questions than answers

January was hard. Work, super sick, short on family, training, and smiles. I even missed my first race of the year 😭.

We don’t nearly celebrate consistency enough.

I recently attended a 2-day SNP Communications Manager Training Workshop. Yass!
