  • Led the product design for WiredScore's internal scoring platform, which included doing everything from initial strategy to handing off high-fidelity prototypes to developers.

  • Established and followed a strategy that included receiving business roadmaps and translating them into product strategies and rollout plans.
  • Handled UX by testing prototypes with internal product users and monitoring their behavior using our designs.
  • Worked on the UI by designing prototypes and creating high-fidelity mockups based on brand requirements. Since this was a very complex product, a design system was established for visual consistency and time saving.
