In the last 10 years (and counting), I've worked on that mission as a UX/product designer, creating complex B2B platforms and high-engagement B2C digital products.
Prior to that, I worked on the same mission as a marketing director and business executive, collaborating with 25+ social enterprises and nonprofit changemakers.
While my job titles and details will change as the role of a designer evolves with shifts in the industry, the rise of new tools, or something unseen yet, my mission will remain the same.
So, if you're working on something meaningful, I'd love to connect.
