Initially, I started in the Talent product pillar, overseeing talent-related products such as performance reviews, career pathing, and goals/OKRs. After a reorganization of personnel, I shifted to the HR Core and Time Management space under the HCM (Human Capital Management) product pillar, which constitutes a significant portion of Workday’s ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). Here, I managed a lean but highly capable group of product designers responsible for designing core HCM functions across multiple primary user types (casual, manager, professional, and administrator).

Leveraging my extensive experience in the enterprise space, I helped elevate the overall UX maturity of our stakeholder organizations through continuous advocacy of proper design and research practices, UX education presentations, business applications, and building relationships with product teams. As the business transitioned from product solution offerings to platform solution offerings, product teams increasingly needed to focus on end-to-end experiences rather than siloed solutions. My team and I were well-prepared to bridge these gaps and design comprehensive end-to-end solutions for our users. Our lean, horizontally-focused team had a distinct advantage in this ongoing endeavor.
