Experienced UX/UI Designer living in the Midwest. I enjoy creating impactful experiences for users, coffee and football.
When UX seas get choppy, Yoko is a calm, steady navigator. I worked closely with her at Signet Jewelers as her copy partner. She took ownership of complex information, made sense of many unique user states, and clearly communicated with me what was needed to complete the work. All along the way, she approached tasks with clarity, humor, kindness, respect, and perspective—always with improved user experiences as the goal. For this writer, a day working closely with Yoko meant a good day. I truly hope our paths cross again!

Yoko is a consummate UX designer - using data-driven analytics and her team-building skills to consistently design and build online experiences with the greatest sense of user intuition. She's also a fantastic partner to work with- a positive, go-getting teammate that always goes the extra mile to ensure projects are creating not only delightful but revenue and loyalty generating customer experiences.

Yoko’s eCommerce industry knowledge is fantastic, her ability to jump between UX design tools to work with your design teams is impressive, her commitment to team success is second to none, and her desire to gather data about how customers use the websites she's working on takes decision making to another level. While at Nuna, she was balancing the needs of 3 brands and helping each along their growth curve. Whether planning a design system for Nuna, working with the dev team and designers to bring a new Joie site to life, or improving the focus and usability of the PDP and home pages for Graco EU she was an immense value to all of those teams.
