What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused role where I lead UX/UI and design systems, collaborate cross-functionally, use AI-enhanced workflows, and drive measurable user and business growth.

I am a Senior Product and UX/UI Designer with 9+ years delivering complex digital products across HealthTech, FinTech and Web3. I specialize in branding, scalable design systems and leveraging AI tools to accelerate concepting and optimisation.

I've launched five major products, including three startups from scratch, and led teams up to eight designers and engineers. At Diagnocat I developed three AI products, a scalable design system and created 300+ responsive screens with Light/Dark modes.

My work has measurably improved metrics: mobile engagement rose from 8% to 35%, average session duration increased by 40 minutes, and revenue growth of 10% was achieved on major projects. I pair quantitative results with deep qualitative research, conducting 20+ in-depth interviews across 12 countries.

I bring hands-on expertise with Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC, Rive.app and AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Leonardo AI), plus leadership in cross-functional teams, mentoring and end-to-end product design.
