What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end design for AI-powered SaaS—especially human-AI interaction and decision-support experiences—partnering with product and engineering teams to define MVPs, prototype quickly, and ship highly usable outcomes.

I’m a Product Designer with 15+ years of experience designing AI-powered and SaaS products from concept to launch. I specialize in blending design thinking, behavioral insights, and AI to create intuitive human-centered experiences.

I lead product discovery, MVP definition, and rapid prototyping—validating product concepts through research, prototyping, and usability testing. In remote roles at Toptal, I translate complex technical capabilities into intuitive user workflows and collaborate across founders, product managers, and engineers to align on MVP scope.

Most recently, I designed an AI analytics product focused on human-AI interaction and AI-generated summaries, improving the clarity and usability of AI outputs through quick iteration. I’ve also led the design of an AI-powered hiring platform and built scalable UX structures and design systems, including UX research-informed usability improvements.
