Wavely
I started as a Senior Product Designer at Wavely, establishing core design systems and design principles used for a wide range of users, globally. I also led the UX Research plan, drove the UI improvements across Desktop, iOS and Android. I then led and mentored a small Design team at Wavely.

Take initiative to lead Research efforts
Wavely is a fast-paced startup, and in working to carry out features, Design became the bottleneck. I took initiative and lead & carried out the Design System. In doing so, Design was far more efficient than before I joined - making time for us to conduct more proper research.
I conducted bi-weekly workshops to get company-wide excited into research, to teach and emphasize on how important conducting User-centric and data-driven decisions are.
I scheduled meetings with different teams across the company to watch Hotjar videos - to understand user behavior and help make strategic decisions to get buy-in quickly.
Quarterly “field-trips” with the Sales, Marketing and Product team to do field research was fun and exciting.
