As a Senior Manager II in UX Design at Walmart Global Tech, I lead transformative initiatives within Catalog, Gscope, particularly focusing on the Global Integrated Fulfillment (GIF) system. I've been instrumental in elevating User Experience design from a tactical service to a strategic imperative, successfully navigating significant organizational restructuring, and fostering a high-performing, innovative design culture. Directed design strategy for global supply chain, aligning product roadmaps with critical business priorities and user needs. Successfully shifted the perception of UX from "pixel movers" to strategic partners, demonstrating tangible value by focusing on solving complex business and user problems. Authored and presented over 12 papers for GIF at internal forums like Spark Tech, gaining company-wide recognition for design contributions. Established usage of scalable design systems and elevated UX quality standards across multiple product verticals. Pioneered data-driven design by establishing a partnership with the data analytics team, gaining access to key performance metrics, and creating dashboards to quantify design impact and validate hypotheses with hard numbers. Conducted extensive foundational research, including in-person store visits and mining Walmart associate Reddit forums to uncover deep-seated user pain points and inform design solutions. Initiated the process for patent applications for unique user experience solutions, such as for the dispense module, to protect intellectual property. I built and led a remote, cross-functional team, achieving an 80% retention rate by cultivating a supportive and rewarding environment even under pressure. I mentored over 9 designers across different locations, contributing directly to the promotion of four team members and a strong culture of continuous learning. Built competency framework for design team.

I designed and executed the user experience for the Amazon Brand Registry product, transforming a complex suite of tools into a seamless and intuitive experience for brand owners. My process was hands-on: I brainstormed and prototyped concepts, meticulously specified designs for a variety of use cases, and constantly iterated based on seller feedback and data. My work focused on solving complex problems to ensure the platform was both powerful and easy to use. I collaborated closely with a multi-disciplinary team, including engineering, product management, and UX research. I partnered directly with the research team to formulate generative and usability studies, ensuring our design decisions were grounded in real-world insights from brand owners. Ultimately, my core mission was to be a passionate advocate for the customer, championing their needs throughout the design and development lifecycle. I participated in software design sprints to ensure the final product was delivered to my specifications and that best practices for user interaction and service design were instilled across the entire customer journey.
