Requirement Gathering & UI Design is definitely my thing. I love synthesizing complex data, and translating it into a visual product.
Interviewing and Understanding People is a super power of mine. I spent 8 years in technical recruiting, and it taught me how to listen and speak to users and stakeholders while asking the right questions.

I'm currently a Product Designer for Veeva.
