What I'm looking for

I’m looking for senior product design or UX/UI design roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, build scalable design systems, and bridge design with front-end engineering to drive measurable product impact

I’m a Product Designer and UX/UI Tech Lead with 13+ years of experience creating user-centered digital experiences across startups and enterprise clients; I blend wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and front-end development to deliver responsive, scalable design systems and measurable business outcomes.

I’ve led cross-functional teams to rebuild e-commerce and SaaS platforms, defined architecture using Next.js and TypeScript, integrated AI into workflows to accelerate delivery, and launched conversion-focused sites and design systems that improved engagement, add-to-cart rates, and developer handoff.
