About Me
I am a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience designing intuitive, scalable, and AI-enhanced user centric digital experiences. Proven ability to own end-to-end design of enterprise and fintech-adjacent platforms, driving measurable user engagement, automation, and self-serve adoption through research-driven solutions and cross-functional collaboration.
I pursued an MBA to broaden my business and strategic thinking alongside leadership/communication skills, and during that time, I was introduced to Human Factors, which led me to earn a Master’s in UX Research and Design. This is how I pursued my passion for product design—blending business objectives with user needs to create intuitive, high-impact solutions.
When I’m not designing products, I’m planning our next trip with the family, trying new recipes, hosting friends for dinner, or tackling a project around the house. I also make time for hikes, tennis, and exploring events all over Boston.
Recommendations
“I worked with Erik on a special, high visibility project. Erik was reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy. We needed to get user feedback on a design, and I was impressed on how quickly he was able to draft a protocol, recruit participants, run them through a formative evaluation, and get the answers our designers and leadership needed to make a change. Erik was quick on his feet and thorough with all the perspectives we needed to make a decision. I think Erik is a great user advocate and a key component of any product development team.”
