As the Founding Product Designer, it was my responsibility to manage and support all aspects of design at Addition – everything from building the web application to crafting marketing materials. I established the core foundation for our design organization by writing clear documentation, establishing effective design practices, and creating scalable design systems.

During my time, I was Addition’s design lead and IC that delivered end-to-end experiences that enabled ongoing engagement with client companies. I worked closely with our engineering team and business team, and acted as the liaison to help balance our business goals with our user’s needs.

As part of working at an early-stage startup, I'd taken on several roles on top of product design. More notably, I took on UX research to understand our user’s pain points, and product management to outline the product roadmap and oversee quality assurance to ensure a smooth launch for feature releases.
