What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful design projects and continue to grow professionally.

As a Product Designer with over five years of experience, I specialize in creating intuitive, accessible, and scalable digital experiences for both global brands and fast-moving startups. My expertise lies in developing modern design systems, building 0:1 components, and delivering comprehensive UI/UX solutions that align with user needs and business objectives.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven track record in enhancing product engagement and improving accessibility in line with WCAG standards. My role as a fractional lead designer for a fintech startup and an AI photo app has allowed me to drive significant improvements in user experience and reduce development time through effective cross-functional collaboration. I am skilled in tools such as Figma, Framer, Notion, and Adobe Creative Suite, which I leverage to create impactful design solutions.
