What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote product design work where I can improve fintech, Web3, SaaS, or developer-tool experiences through product discovery, prototyping, research, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

I've redesigned onboarding, trading, funding, and account-management experiences for Netcoins, a multi-regional cryptocurrency platform, using working prototypes to align product and engineering on complex flows. As a founding Lead Product Designer at Drench, I led end-to-end design for payments, digital wallets, and social financial experiences while building a scalable, accessible design system.

I also build my own developer tools, including Halftone Studio, a Figma plugin that turns images into editable SVG halftone art. Across fintech, SaaS, and consumer products, I translate research, product feedback, and data into clear experiences that reduce friction and support activation.
