What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product team where I can lead end-to-end UX/UI and design systems—turning ambiguity into crisp, developer-ready interfaces—while partnering closely with engineering and applying strategic design thinking and AI-assisted workflows.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing scalable digital products and design systems across SaaS, fintech, mobility, and startup ecosystems. I translate complex product challenges into high-fidelity, developer-ready experiences using advanced Figma workflows, with a strong focus on UX/UI fundamentals and responsive-first design.

Recently at UicoLabs, I led high-fidelity product design for multiple startups that collectively raised $3M+, partnering with co-founders, product managers, and engineering across 5 major launches. I’ve built and maintained scalable design systems using Auto Layout, Variables, Components, and DevMode—delivering pixel-perfect UI with strong typography and layout precision—while exploring AI-assisted design workflows to improve speed, iteration, and system documentation.
