What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an enterprise SaaS role where I can own end-to-end UX, strengthen design systems with tokens and governance, and ship AI-assisted workflow improvements—especially in complex products with permissions and data-heavy interfaces.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with 6+ years in enterprise and SaaS—fintech, CRM, and internal tools. I design complex workflows, interaction-heavy UX, permission architectures, and data-heavy interfaces where design system clarity and governance matter.

I own the design systems behind the products, built from scratch using design tokens and a component library, and I work end-to-end from user flows and UX research to handoff. At Abaxx Technologies, I designed UX across 7 interconnected B2B products, built a three-tier token architecture (primitive → semantic → component), and introduced AI into my workflow from design exploration to shipping production front-end.
