Senior Visual UI Designer with a focus on impactful design solutions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
With over 10 years of experience in visual design, I have successfully collaborated with high-performing marketing, UX, and design teams across various industries, including SaaS, renewable energy, online banking, and real estate. My expertise lies in leveraging tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Suite to deliver scalable, data-informed design solutions that align with growth marketing objectives. I am passionate about creating user-focused designs that drive impactful results and enhance customer engagement.
In my recent role as Visual Design Manager at Kartra.com, I led a comprehensive redesign of the brand, achieving a remarkable 40% improvement in brand consistency across all consumer touchpoints. My transition of the design team to a Figma-based workflow not only reduced design-to-development handoff time by 25% but also fostered improved collaboration within the team. I am committed to maintaining design fidelity and aligning with newly developed design systems, ensuring seamless implementation of designs that contribute to significant increases in conversion rates and lead generation.
