Senior UX Designer
July 2009 – January 2010

Sometimes businesses make changes. Sometimes they eliminate departments. Sometimes even hundreds of employees in a day. When I found myself unexpectedly looking for new work I went back to an old friend to work on a great project. I led the design of the back-end UX for a brand new generation of travel agency software and worked with a great team along the way.
