What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team building complex B2B SaaS where I can own product UX end-to-end, improve information architecture and workflows, and help scale a reusable design system with strong design-to-development collaboration.

I’m a hands-on Senior Product Designer focused on complex SaaS products—especially B2B platforms, admin panels, data-heavy interfaces, and internal tools. I turn complex business logic into clear, developer-ready product experiences through strong product thinking and information architecture.

In my recent roles as a Senior Product Designer and Design Lead, I’ve improved product logic, workflow structure, and interface consistency across multiple user roles, permissions, statuses, and operational workflows. I’ve also strengthened design-to-development collaboration by building reusable UI patterns, documenting decisions, and refining semi-automated handoff processes.

I’m particularly effective in scaling design systems—creating component libraries, reusable patterns, and workflow automation in Figma (including custom Figma plugins to support routine design analysis and refactoring). I lead with usability improvements, UX audits, and wireframing/prototyping to test and validate product hypotheses with teams.

Beyond product design, I’ve led multidisciplinary design teams as Head of Design / Product Design Lead and supported design operations, documentation, and production processes. Since 2023, I’ve been a Product Design Lecturer and course author at GoIT, teaching practical product thinking, UI/UX, Figma, prototyping, and design systems.
