What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end UX for web/mobile, run user research and usability testing, and ship scalable design systems—using AI to speed sprints while staying focused on accessibility, conversion, and collaboration in Agile teams.

I’m a Product Designer focused on user-centric web and mobile product experiences, owning end-to-end design from requirements to user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and interactive prototypes in Figma. I translate business goals into intuitive, scalable solutions that improve usability and user engagement.

In my current role at Gosuper Edtech, I run user research, usability testing, and UX audits to surface pain points and strengthen accessibility, conversion, and experience across core product features. I also collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders in an Agile environment to deliver designs aligned with business direction.

I’ve built an AI-adaptive design workflow to accelerate design sprints—using tools like Figma AI, ChatGPT, and Claude to move faster from research synthesis to UI copy generation and component ideation across EdTech products. I’ve designed role-based experience flows for three distinct user groups, balancing competing needs through structured information architecture.

Earlier, I completed a UI/UX internship program at Guvi Greek Networks, where I conducted user research and usability testing and supported a homepage redesign that was selected for forthcoming certification for outstanding achievement. I’m also advancing my research maturity through training and certification focused on scaling UX research practices and integrating insights into product decision-making.
