What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful design solutions and grow alongside a dynamic team.

I am a Product Designer with 10 years of experience across various industries, including Marketing, Finance, Technology, and Real Estate. My background as a Software Developer has equipped me with the skills to create exceptional user interfaces for both mobile and web platforms, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Product Designer at Thoropass, where I design the entire Access Review Experience and contribute to product management through development documentation and customer calls. My previous roles have allowed me to lead design projects, develop design systems, and conduct user research, all while collaborating closely with product managers to refine strategies and enhance user satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have focused on creating dynamic prototypes and wireframes, defining user journeys, and monitoring UX metrics. I am passionate about promoting accessibility, diversity, and equality in design, and I strive to translate design principles into tangible experiences that resonate with users.
