I build scalable product systems and pixel-perfect digital experiences.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote product design work where I can build scalable design systems, turn ambiguity into actionable delivery, partner closely with engineering, and ship high-quality digital experiences.

At Nullwest, I lead product design across internal products and client engagements, turning stakeholder conversations into user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, implementation notes, and clear delivery tickets.

I've built and extended design systems at Trakt.tv and aleno, establishing reusable components, interaction libraries, navigation models, and consistent digital experiences across web, mobile, and TV applications. I work closely with engineering on logic, data flows, API-driven states, edge cases, handoff, and design QA until the build matches the Figma file.

Previously, I contributed to visual language and custom typeface work at Google and Fitbit, collaborating across Bucharest and San Francisco teams. My background also includes branding, identity, print, editorial, web, mobile applications, and experimental environments.

With over two decades in design, I bring design-engineering execution and PM-style delivery to ambiguous product work—prioritizing what matters, aligning teams, and keeping pixels aligned.
