What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product design role where I can lead end-to-end UX—from research and discovery to prototypes and developer handoff—partnering closely with cross-functional teams to improve usability through real user feedback.

I’m a Product Designer with over two years of experience designing user-centered products across healthcare, social commerce, and nonprofit sectors. My work moves from research and discovery through wireframing, prototyping, and developer handoff, so the final experience matches user needs and implementation reality.

Currently, I’m building and leading product design for Verify Social, a startup focused on vendor verification and escrow payments for social commerce. I run user research using surveys, questionnaires, and competitor analysis, then translate insights into user flows, customer journeys, wireframes, and high-fidelity interfaces—closely collaborating with developers to ship functional, scalable experiences.

My background in Medical Laboratory Science keeps me research-driven and deeply empathetic in how I approach product decisions. Through freelance UI/UX work and design internships, I’ve strengthened my skills in usability testing, accessibility and intuitive navigation, developing user personas, and improving onboarding based on feedback—always with a clear, collaborative process.
