What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead human-centered, spatial/map-based UX and build scalable design systems, working cross-functionally in inclusive, growth-oriented teams.

I am a product designer specializing in spatial and map-based user experiences, with a strong background in UX/UI, visual design, and cross-functional collaboration.

I have led UX strategy and implementation at World 50 and Greenlight Financial Technology, improving search efficiency, user engagement, and adoption of safety features through real-time mapping and GPS integration.

I build scalable design systems and streamlined workflows, and I have implemented AI-driven product creation processes that accelerated production and delivery timelines.

I bring experience across enterprise and startup environments, mural and visual arts practice, and international collaboration—seeking to craft inclusive, accessible, and high-impact user experiences.
