With 4 years in B2B product development, I've learned to effectively collaborate with bright people from across the globe through fully remote-based work. I bring with me strong people skills from a background in HR. My design career took off in 2021 at a design agency, followed by a fast-growing DevOps start-up where I practiced most of my product research and design skills.
Ana is a force! I appreciate her insight, her focus on the customers, and driving decisions based on data. She is constantly making improvements across the product suite that it's almost hard to keep up!
