What I'm looking for

I seek product design roles where I can build scalable design systems, use AI-augmented tools, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable user and business impact within collaborative, growth-oriented companies.

I am a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience turning complex problems into clear, functional web and mobile experiences. I build scalable design systems, lead cross-functional teams, and use AI-augmented design to accelerate workflows while keeping business goals front and center.

I have launched a design studio, contributed as a founding designer at a fintech startup, and led redesigns that improved conversion and user satisfaction. I prioritize pragmatic, user-centered solutions, documentation, and collaboration to deliver measurable product impact.
