## About

```text
At Mains Lab, I took a B2B insurance platform from a blank page to launch and its first 8 paying companies. As the first and only designer, I owned three connected products and two design libraries end to end.

I designed 29 core screens for complex insurance workflows and extended Ant Design with more than 20 component groups. I also built a second library from scratch and designed an AI recommendation tool from a two-sentence brief.

At Deutsche Telekom, I designed internal enterprise apps within the corporate design system and BrandBook, meeting WCAG standards. I built missing base components and got them approved by the central design-system team for reuse by other product teams.

My business analysis background helps me turn technical requirements into clear product logic and usable interfaces. Across insurtech, fintech, and enterprise telecom, I’ve taken work from research and prototypes through developer handoff and design QA.
