What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused design role where I can lead UX initiatives, collaborate with engineers, and use research and testing to drive measurable product impact.

I am a Product Design Lead with over 8 years of experience in interaction and UX design, leading cross-functional teams to deliver user-centered products.

At Future Now I led a team of eight designers, drove 3D design implementation for a major banking app, and collaborated closely with engineers to integrate animations and effects that boosted engagement.

I have experience across web and mobile projects, redesigning large apps and creating design systems, patterns, and guidelines while using research, A/B testing, and usability testing to inform decisions.

I also teach part-time, mentor students, and bring hands-on front-end knowledge (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to improve collaboration with engineering teams.
