About me

I currently work as a User Experience Designer at Amazon and focus on their retail online experiences. Prior to joining Amazon, I worked at Fidelity Investments and lead their user experience strategy for their institutional and personal investing online applications. I love simplifying complex problems, and deeply care about making the world a better place through art, inclusive community engagement and visual storytelling. I hold a Master’s in International Communications and a Bachelor’s in Visual Communications and feel humbled by the opportunity I’ve had to develop a diverse skill-set through my work experience, education and travel. 

I was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and I’ve lived and worked in Dubai, India, Singapore, UK and now consider the United States my home. My social and cultural influences have shaped my hopes for an inclusive world and my background in art, graphic design and international communications has taught me ways to communicate this belief through my personal and professional endeavors.

Besides design, I am a visual artist and a big believer of zen living. Please feel free to browse more of my work and art on my website.

Venita not only met and exceeded all tasks asked of her, she was also able to contribute to my project beyond the scope of her original brief due to her experience and varied skill set. My project has gone from a lightbulb moment of inspiration to a sound business model about to launch nationally. Venita has been an invaluable contribution to that journey and I strongly recommend her professionalism, skill and diligence.

I managed Venita at Innovate Business Solutions, and I have to say it was a pleasure. Venita was competent, hardworking, and extremely professional at her work. What I really admired was her ability to seek and apply solutions to everyday work challenges with the highest level of motivation. Promptness, honesty, and team-player are other characters that Venita possess.
