Crafting impactful experiences.
Hey! I’m Amanda, a UI/UX Design Lead based in New York.
I’m currently leading design at Deloitte Digital.
Previously, a Design Lead on Con Edison’s in-house product team, where I drove the evolution and adoption of their Enterprise Design System and enhanced processes such as usability testing. I also partnered with Product and Engineering teams to craft intuitive B2B solutions that simplified complex workflows.
Before that, I served as Lead UI/UX Designer at Estēe Lauder, where I transformed legacy applications for their R&D team.
By leveraging design thinking and emerging technologies, I streamline workflows, reduce human error, and empower teams to work smarter.

My Values
Empowerment
Adaptability
Collaboration
Empathy
These core values shape my design process, guiding every decision from understanding user needs to crafting impactful solutions. I believe design goes beyond aesthetics—it's about empowering people, embracing innovation, and solving meaningful problems through collaboration and empathy.
I ensure every project delivers real-world impact and makes life easier for the people who use it.
I design to empower people by simplifying complexity, enabling users to achieve their goals with ease and confidence.
Adaptability drives my approach, helping me embrace innovation and emerging technologies like AI to create future-ready designs.
Great design is never a solo effort. I thrive on collaboration, partnering with stakeholders and teams to bring diverse perspectives together and deliver impactful, user-centered solutions.
Empathy is key. By understanding user needs and challenges, I craft inclusive, meaningful experiences that make a real difference.

Here’s what colleagues from cross-functional teams and design partners have shared about collaborating with me.
“Amanda is a full stack Design Lead who excels at art direction, user experience design, and user interface design. She played an integral role in the design and launch of Con Edison’s Enterprise Design System. In addition, she is passionate about the use of Design Thinking to lead discovery, co-creation workshops, MVP design delivery, and product launches. She will be an asset to the next team she joins.”
Frances Lachowicz Product Design Lead
“Amanda and I worked together on a ConEdison enterprise web and mobile application where she was the lead designer. Amanda spearheaded the UX/UI of our application, and I always leaned on her to give recommendations for the best user experience, which I thoroughly believe we delivered. Amanda was always extremely receptive to new ideas, solution-oriented, flexible with changing requirements, and a great communicator and team player overall. She has a keen eye for beautiful designs and aesthetics but still comes to the table with an understanding that we may have to pivot based on technical limitations. She was always proactive and gave her time to meet with our developers and give timely feedback on implementation. She also led usability sessions where we were able to get feedback directly from our intended end users and tweak features to make sure they were accessible and easy to use. I will miss working with Amanda as she always provided high quality work, was detail-oriented, and a true expert in her craft. Any organization would be lucky to have her!”
Grace Lee Product Owner
“Amanda was a tremendous help on one of the largest web development projects we've ever done at our agency. Her coding work and animations brought life to the site, and the project was a major success.”
Steve Castro Vice President of Development & Web Accessibility Expert
“Thank you for all the hard work you put in. Having you as part of the team made this project possible.”
Sandy Pipczynski Director, Global R&D Data Integrity
“Thank you Amanda for all the work you have done. Your hard work and attention to detail is commendable. It was a pleasure working with you.”
