What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior product design role where I can lead end-to-end UX/UI delivery, strengthen design systems, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and build accessible experiences (including AI-aware workflows) with timely execution and quality.

I’m a Senior Product (UX/UI) Designer with 15 years of experience specialising in mobile and web applications. I deliver user-centric designs that balance business objectives with exceptional user experiences, guided by visual clarity, usability, simplicity, and refined elegance.

My work is rooted in design thinking and user psychology, with a strong focus on thoughtful integration of technology—including AI integrations—and accessibility standards. I’ve built a well-rounded foundation across product UX/UI, plus web, print, and media design, giving me both strategic perspective and senior-level technical proficiency.

As a team leader and design lead, I take pride in timely execution, improved team efficiency, and meaningful collaboration. I’ve owned end-to-end design—from UX/UI and user research to usability testing, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI—while also driving design system and style guide consistency, accessibility assurance, and mentorship of junior designers.
