Overview
As an Experience Architect at Salesforce, I led the design track for enterprise-scale implementations across Fortune 500 clients. My role bridged the gap between business strategy and technical execution—translating complex requirements into intuitive digital experiences while managing stakeholder expectations and coordinating with development teams.
Each engagement required deep discovery, strategic alignment with C-suite stakeholders, and hands-on design leadership to deliver solutions that met both user needs and business objectives.
My Role & Responsibilities
User Discovery
Led stakeholder workshops, user interviews, and journey mapping sessions to uncover pain points, goals, and opportunities. Synthesized findings into actionable insights that informed design direction.
Stakeholder Engagement
Facilitated alignment across executive sponsors, product owners, and technical leads. Translated business objectives into design requirements and presented strategic recommendations to C-suite audiences.
Prototyping & Design
Created wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity designs in Figma. Iterated rapidly based on stakeholder feedback and usability testing. Built component libraries and design systems for scalability.
Development Collaboration
Partnered closely with Salesforce developers during implementation. Provided detailed design specifications, participated in sprint reviews, and ensured design intent was preserved through QA cycles.
