I work on the Global Business Units (GBUs) Core UX team where I help build and grow the Redwood user experience. The Redwood experience is not just for our user interfaces. It touches every single interaction with our company for customers, partners, and employees. Redwood is not just a change in color scheme or a marketing initiative. It's a collective reinvention of how Oracle customers interact with technology and consume information.

UX Design + DesignOps
As a Principal UX Designer at Oracle, I help the Global Business Units navigate the Redwood Design System and understand the Redwood user-centered design process. In this role, I have lead the design process across multiple projects, while also coordinating the effort with other designers, researchers, product managers, and developers.
I work closely with development teams to ensure that design specifications are implemented and reflect design intent and adhere to the Redwood Design System. I also consult with UX designers, developers, and product managers on complex products in diverse industries ranging from State and Local Government to Construction and Engineering.
Teaching UX Design
Part of my role is to help designers and non-designers learn about and apply the power of user-centered design. To do this at scale we created Oracle Redwood UX Bootcamp program.
The purpose of the bootcamp is to teach designers, developers, product managers, and other stakeholders how to become an advocate for Redwood. In this two day (3 hours per day) bootcamp, participants learn the Redwood approach, philosophy, and process through hands on learning and exercises. This cross-disciplinary training can be directly applied across any GBU project.
I created a brand around the bootcamp representing the three teams that lead the content creation of for the program; Design Ops, Consulting, and Research.
In this role I've built a UX learning course on OTube (Oracle’s internal video sharing platform). Here we cover topics like Clarity of Purpose, User Goals, Shape of Data, Research, Storyboarding, Wireframing, Prototyping, and the Redwood Design System. In addition to that, I also helped create a self-paced UX learning course through the Individual Development Education program at Oracle.
