Hi, I’m
![]()
Rudy.
My work aligns UX decisions to business outcomes across healthcare, enterprise, and AI-driven products.
EXPERIENCE
Selected teams where I set visual standards and shipped UX at scale:
CASE STUDIES
Leadership scope: Teams (5-15) · Enterprise & public sector · Distributed
CalOptima needed to modernize a multilingual public healthcare platform under strict regulatory and accessibility constraints. I directed the system-level redesign of CalOptima.org, delivering a clear, mobile-first experience that reduced support volume by 90% and met WCAG 2.1 AA.
Aeris was rebranding under iRobot and needed a scalable UX foundation to support conversion, accessibility, and cross-platform consistency. I defined the UX strategy and design infrastructure for the relaunch, delivering an accessible, token-based component system that accelerated delivery and drove a 25% lift in checkout completion.
DESIGN SYSTEM
As products and teams scaled, fragmented design workflows were slowing delivery and increasing accessibility risk. I established and governed a token-based design system adopted across distributed teams, improving consistency, accessibility, and delivery velocity at scale.
My work centers on experience strategy, design systems, and cross-functional alignment in environments where scale, regulation, and technical constraints shape every decision.
HOW I LEAD
→ Establish clear direction and decision frameworks so design work scales without slowing delivery.
→ Align product, engineering, and leadership around shared priorities and measurable outcomes.
→ Set experience vision while staying hands-on where it improves understanding or raises execution quality.
→ Build and govern scalable design systems that reduce ambiguity and increase delivery velocity.
→ Develop designers through direct mentorship, critique, and strategic context; not just execution feedback.
→ Standardize accessibility and UX maturity across teams to ensure consistency in regulated and high-risk environments.
As a manager, Rudy is transparent, supportive, and a joy to work with. Her exceptional eye for detail, organizational prowess, and extensive knowledge in product design make her an invaluable asset to any team.
