What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead product and design systems in fintech/crypto, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor designers, and build secure, compliant, scalable UX.

I am a strategic product designer with 9+ years leading UX and product design across fintech, crypto, and complex digital platforms. I design scalable systems that align user experience, security constraints, and business strategy while mentoring teams and shaping design systems.

I translate complex technical architectures—tokenized payments, audit systems, and secure element constraints—into intuitive, risk-aware interactions and production-ready components. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and compliance to deliver defensible, compliant experiences and measurable improvements like reduced onboarding time and faster project lifecycles.
