About

I have been designing for 15+ years and currently work in the HRtech space as a UX Lead. I have worked for both large and small companies in technology, transportation, and advertising with significant experience in wellness and IoT. I have held many roles, including graphic designer, web designer, front end developer, interactive designer, brand/agency creative, visual designer, interaction designer, and product owner.

I am passionate about encouraging young girls to pursue careers in STEM, bridging educational equity gaps for people of color and minorities, and supporting other women leaders and business owners in areas that lack structures to help them succeed.

Patricia and I worked on the Moto 360 smartwatch UI and the accompanying Moto Body app. Patricia was responsible for the look and feel of the entire app, and did an excellent job. She has a great attitude, works tirelessly, and creates exceptional interfaces. I would highly recommend Patricia for UI/UX design and for having on your design team in general.

Rick Hoobler, VP of Design & Creative Services, iRobot

Patricia's knack for great digital design is matched only by her ability to figure out how to implement just about any request. Patricia brings it all to the table - a great eye for design, an intuitive understanding of the right user experience for a given project, and the technical know-how to make it all happen. Patricia is an incredible asset to any team.

Leana Rogers Salamah, VP Marketing, International Housewares Association

Patricia has a passion for making data-rich applications understandable to people and organizations in a way that drives adoption and delights users. She is thoughtful in her approach to problems, caring for others on her team, and driven to do the right thing for organizations she works for and their end users.
