**Affected by RIF in April 2023**

As sole designer, I worked across two teams to provide UX audits, user flows, design iterations, and interactive prototypes alongside collaborative product and engineering colleagues. Working closely together, our teams successfully rolled out digital solutions for our financial products, including a new flow to provide additional offering due evolve with market shifts and to increase customer base while enabling efficiency and value for both, our internal support teams and external real estate agencies.

Designed for the Budgeting & Planning product where I collaborated in cross-functional team of designers, developers, product managers and directors, and customer support managers. I contributed by gathering insights, defining plans for roadmap goals, discussing technical feasibility with engineering, as well as creating and refining product solutions for a collection of tools such as budget proposals, budget spreadsheets, budget reports, and employee cost analysis for Local, City, and State Governments.

I led UX and the evolution of Smartling's localization platform, including CAT tool for translators and additional products to enable translation requests, edits, reviews, and automation workflows. I worked for a couple years as sole Product Designer and then hired and managed a second UX Designer for the team. I connected regularly with our enterprise customers to gather feedback over existing features and early concepts, as well as review specs for features, and iterated solutions for the Product team. I worked closely with developers to define and refine UI components for our design system.

(ignore this - I'm just trying to get rid of my old LinkedIn company page because people are pretending they work at "Justin Pocta Design"??? lol, what a mess)

I've had the opportunity to help direct and develop products, websites, and other design needs for clients from a variety of industries.
