What I'm looking for

Ready to go deep with a team that believes in design as strategy, not just aesthetics.

I’m a Product Designer with 7+ years of experience shaping user-centric digital experiences across B2B and B2C products in fintech, healthcare, and AI-powered productivity tools. I specialise in building systems, simplifying complex workflows, and aligning design with business outcomes.

I’ve led 0→1 product design at multiple startups, scaled design systems across distributed teams, and helped drive outcomes like $1B+ in transactions processed, 80% faster turnaround times, and adoption across global teams. I’ve worked closely with founders, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to turn ambiguity into clarity, bringing structure and empathy to every solution.

Outside of work, I enjoy travel and photography — I find that nature and new perspectives recharge my creativity. I’m currently consulting remotely with global teams and exploring full-time opportunities with product-first companies that value systems thinking, storytelling, and long-term impact.
