Senior Product Designer crafting user-centred FinTech and SaaS experiences that simplify complex financial flows.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Product Designer with 7+ years designing complex digital products across FinTech, SaaS, and consumer platforms, specialising in end-to-end UX/UI for payment flows, crypto wallets, and data-heavy interfaces.
I have led end-to-end design efforts—running discovery and user research through high-fidelity production UI—across multi-product environments, maintaining design systems and delivering clear handoff documentation to engineering and product teams.
My work focuses on simplifying high-stakes financial interactions into intuitive experiences, improving retention and reducing friction, while mentoring designers and contributing to scalable, production-ready product design.
