👋 Hi there! I am Torye, a product designer with a passion for crafting experiences that bring joy to the digital world.

MY BACKGROUND

With 6 years of experience in product design, my expertise blends empathy with data-driven insights. Currently at Turnstile, I am integral to pioneering a sophisticated web-based platform for SaaS operations. Previously at Digit and Whitepages, I led initiatives that resulted in significant revenue growth and increased efficiency through collaboration and user-centric design practices.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Product design is all about finding that sweet spot between what users want and what businesses need, creating experiences that just click. I care about the entire journey & systems that help us collaborate across other disciplines to discover opportunities and strategic initiatives. Let’s make something accessible, test, & iterate!

AFK you can find me playing with my dogs, doing some DIY around the house, gardening or watering my thirsty houseplants, hiking, making photographs, traveling, scuba diving, or just lounging watching Friends or baseball (Go DBacks!)
