What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a product team where I can shape end-to-end UX and scale design systems across web and mobile, collaborating closely with Product and Engineering to ship user-centered experiences with consistency and efficiency.

I help tech companies thrive by transforming concepts into captivating digital experiences. I craft design systems from inception to implementation, ensuring consistency, scalability, and efficiency across platforms.

With 8+ years spanning media, logistics, gaming, culture, and fintech, I’ve built mobile apps from scratch and owned end-to-end design across discovery, ideation, wireframing, visual design, and production. I partner with Product and Engineering to define direction and deliver user-centered solutions.

Recently, I’ve supported major properties across web and mobile, contributing to design systems that scale across products. Previously, I led creation and maintenance of a design system for Smartify and built the full UX of a new mobile app—from wireframes to final prototypes.

I also bring leadership and operational rigor: I acted as Head of Design, improved onboarding through behavior-data analysis, and led a team of three to launch a company’s first design system. My focus stays on clear standards, strong handoffs, and practical templates that teams can ship with.
