Staff Product Designer (UI/UX) & Systems Architect (IC)

TBC Corporation (Michelin Joint Venture) // Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Staff / Principal Architectural Sync: Lead IC architecting the bridge between B2B/B2C infrastructure across 4 concurrent products (Big O Tires B2C, Big O B2B CMS, TBCWholesale, and TBC Corp). I prioritize Heuristic-Led Velocity for execution while orchestrating Selective Research Rigor for pivotal business changes.

* TBC Corporation: A massive automotive joint venture owned 50/50 by Sumitomo Corporation and Michelin North America (equivalent scale to major UK FTSE retail leaders like Halfords or Kwik Fit, multiplied by ten).

  • /

    Strategic Triage & Impact: Balanced 4 concurrent product roadmaps through Expert Prioritization - driving $25M+ in Validated Revenue Lift across national brands. Stewarded digital infrastructure through a 75% engineering velocity contraction, maintaining conversion baselines and delivering a 13%+ sustained rolling MoM average (up from 2.8% starting baseline) by simplifying national customer acquisition and transactional checkout flows.

    Commercial Impact: Co-designed and co-built TreadXpress alongside the Lead Engineer - starting from a blank canvas to deliver a production-grade B2B wholesale platform facilitating $100M+ GMV across 110+ distribution centers and 90+ metro areas.

  • /

    Ecosystem Consolidation: Architected the consolidation of B2B Wholesale and JIT platforms into a unified, segment-aware engine - harmonizing disparate purchasing models into a single ecosystem while solving for complex IAM (Identity & Access Management) and role-based permissions.

    Growth Mechanics: Optimized regional promotion funnels and designed targeted exit-intent recovery flows; achieved a 27% conversion lift on landing pages and a 9% recovery rate for returning users, forecasting a collective $3–6M annual revenue impact.

  • /

    Design Operations & Standardization: Established essential design frameworks and multi-brand Figma libraries to support the Big O Tires rebrand and B2B merger. Defined design tokens, annotated specs, and WCAG compliance standards to slash QA cycles and ensure practical, enterprise-wide scalability.

  • /

    UX Innovation: Strategized and implemented a streamlined high-intent lookup interface to replace legacy selection patterns, establishing a new mobile-optimized search standard that significantly improved conversion and speed during pilot rollout.

  • /

    Tooling & Leverage: I use generative AI and modern development tools to automate repetitive UI boilerplate. By offloading routine code and asset generation to agentic systems, I reclaim 80% of my time to focus on deep user psychology, complex product logic, and Certified Usability Analyst (CUA) audits. I am a designer first, using code-generation as a lever to bridge Figma to production without engineering friction.
