Bio
Fondly called Adi, I'm a Product/UX designer based out of Chicago. Currently designing Generative-AI driven experiences for Cision's flagship product—to elevate the lives of public relations professionals. Over 4 years, I've build products that delight and empower consumers and enterprises. I get stuff done, by taking ownership, and adapting to business needs to achieve desired business success. I've contributed to bringing new ideas/products into the market and particularly enjoy the challenges that come with it.
Renowned among colleagues for managing multiple projects efficiently, I'm known for delivering with speed, precision, and quality. Throughout my journey, I've moved the needle for web and mobile apps, design systems, SaaS, consumer and enterprise software. I'm a student of life, with an ever-growing appetite to acquire new skills. Raised by a single mother and grandparents, I carry their values of hard work, kindness and humility.
