What I'm looking for

I’m looking to design intuitive product interfaces and user flows in agile teams—building accessible, usable experiences. I want room to apply design thinking while staying adaptable, and I enjoy partnering across design and technical implementation.

I’m a Senior UX product designer with a background in ﬁne arts and a degree in computer science. For 10+ years in the SaaS industry, I design intuitive product interfaces and user flows, often as the sole designer and also as part of large design teams. I’m a user advocate who values adaptability, agility, and excellent communication.

My methodology follows design thinking, but I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all solution to design. I combine UX strategy with technical implementation—using HTML/CSS skills, creating/managing design systems, building component-based designs, and focusing on performance optimization, A/B Testing/Debugging, usability, and accessibility.
