One of the things about Formula Fig that made me want to apply is its unique brand philosophy that successfully marries high-tech, results-driven treatments with an elevated, human-centric experience.

Specifically, the one thing is the company's commitment to delivering advanced, medical-grade aesthetic treatments, like microneedling and microcurrent, in a way that is highly accessible, efficient (often in 30 minutes), and aesthetically engaging. Many places offer clinical efficacy or a relaxing spa experience, but rarely both. Formula Fig has cracked the code on providing treatments with proven, clinical results without the intimidating, stark environment of a typical doctor's office.

This approach, which the founders describe as a formula of "form, function, and fantastical," demonstrates an understanding of the modern consumer's needs: they want efficacy and efficiency, but they also want an immersive, design-forward experience that makes them feel taken care of and builds a community.

This focus on blending cutting-edge science with thoughtful hospitality truly resonates with my own professional values, and I am excited by the opportunity to be part of a team that is redefining the skincare industry.

When juggling multiple deadlines, I rely on a structured approach of ruthless prioritization, visual mapping, and buffer allocation to ensure everything gets done efficiently.

For example, when managing a complex project across two different jobs—Job A required a client presentation deck due Thursday, while Job B had a system migration checklist due Friday—I had to manage conflicting priorities simultaneously.

First, I used my digital calendar and a task management tool to list every sub-task for both projects and assigned a priority level (High, Medium, Low) and estimated time to each. I visually mapped dependencies—for instance, I couldn't finalize the presentation deck in Job A until the data analysis step was complete.

Next, I blocked out focused work sessions on my calendar, allocating my most productive morning hours to the highest-priority, tightest deadline (Job A presentation). I also intentionally scheduled 'buffer time' of 30 minutes at the end of each session to handle unexpected interruptions or overruns, which helps prevent a single delay from derailing my entire schedule.

By meticulously breaking down the work and focusing on immediate priorities while keeping the big picture in mind, I successfully delivered the presentation deck for Job A 4 hours early and completed the system migration checklist for Job B the following morning. This approach ensures I not only meet all my deadlines but also maintain the capacity to manage unexpected personal needs and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

I taught myself UX design when I realized that our increasingly digital world relies on seamless user experiences, sparking a personal passion for effective design. I recognized that behind every successful site or app is meticulous user research and intentional design, a field I was eager to enter.To approach this learning goal proactively, I started by auditing existing online resources and curating a structured learning path. I began with foundational theory using free courses from platforms like Coursera and edX, learning core principles like user flow, wireframing, and information architecture.My next step was practical application. I used Figma and Sketch to redesign popular, but slightly cumbersome, local non-profit websites. I conducted informal user research with friends and family to identify pain points and created high-fidelity prototypes that addressed those issues, applying an iterative design process.As a result, I built a small portfolio of work that demonstrated my understanding of the user-centered design process. While I wasn't asked to do this for a specific role, this self-initiated project allowed me to pivot my skills, and I now confidently integrate UX principles into my current project management work, ensuring that our team always prioritizes the end-user experience.
