Currently, I’m responsible for the design and experience of the Exxon Mobil Rewards+ app. My work has helped members save over 100 million dollars, increased fuel sales by up to 10%, and boosted member enrollments by up to 36%. I collaborate with product owners, payment program managers, marketing advisors, designers, solution architects, and developers to ensure we’re meeting user needs and business goals. I’ve also worked closely with Apple, Google, AARP, and Waze on several partnership programs.
Previously, I worked on various internal websites and mobile apps across different lines of business including HR, IT, and Upstream. I was also instrumental in growing the company’s design system, and led the concept and creation of a visual identity for the corporate design team.
