Experience
Alteryx | Aug ‘22 - May ‘24
Associate Creative Director. The time came to devote my attention to one brand and take my creative ideas in-house. I focused on all things digital when it came to the analytics brand:
Web design and UX strategy: Co-led the effort to revamp and modernize the Alteryx website by redesigning the homepage, implementing new interactive elements, creating a new blog experience, and refreshing visuals in staged releases. Coordinated efforts with UX/UI experts, designers, stakeholders, and developers for successful launches at each phase.
Email Design and Project Management: Oversaw the design, creation, and launch of Alteryx branded marketing email templates. Working with a varied team of in-house designers, external vendors, offshore developers, and internal stakeholders 11 versatile email templates were developed for marketing, demand gen, events, webinars, and more. Created a comprehensive self-serve structure including an image library, guide, and internal SharePoint resources to accompany the launch.
Brand expansion with a focus on product [my technical background and creative skillset sweet spot enters the chat]: Directed the creation of a stylized UI library for Alteryx’s product suite, collaborating with portfolio marketing to define key visuals and features. I ensured visual consistency across over 20 hero screens and feature representations while managing a team of 3 designers.
Operational excellence and expertise [aka Figma Queen]: Optimized and managed Figma Brand Team space, component library, and templates. Ensured seamless production scalability with a geographically dispersed team, multiple agencies, partners, and vendors.
