UX designer

I'm Melissa, a UX designer with a thing for making complicated, technical products feel simple and human.

​

With ten years in user experience, my work blends user empathy, technical depth, and business impact.

Design Approach

I believe the best designs come from genuinely understanding users and bringing a team together across disciplines to create something thoughtful and intuitive. For me, that means learning the problem deeply, building strategy collaboratively, iterating often, and staying open to feedback throughout.

Collaborate

Every design is improved by collaboration. Building trust across a team doesn't just make the process better — it makes the product better for the people using it.

Iterate

No design is ever finished. Thinking in layers — designing for now, planning for later, and keeping an eye on the future. Every iteration is an opportunity to learn, realign, and make it better.

Feedback

Feedback is key — from users through testing and research, and from design critiques, UX reviews, leadership presentations, and QA as designs are implemented.

"Melissa, this recognition is for being an incredible mentor and unwavering support to your teammates. Despite juggling the demands of leading multiple teams, you’ve gone above and beyond to coach and guide others. Your dedication to supporting the team in India, even at inconvenient times, reflects your selflessness and commitment. You exemplify what it means to prioritize Responsibility to Others, and we’re fortunate to have you as part of our team."
