What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused role at a fast-paced company where I can design scalable, user-centred FinTech or SaaS experiences, lead end-to-end design, and mentor teams.

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.
