What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time senior UX design role where I can lead design systems, drive accessibility, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable product outcomes.

I am a Senior UX Designer with 20 years of experience building enterprise SaaS applications, design systems, and user-centered digital products. I have led end-to-end product design from Series A through acquisition, integrating acquired products into unified platforms and achieving measurable outcomes like 85% customer loyalty and industry-leading NPS scores.

I combine accessibility-focused design systems with front-end development skills to prototype and validate complex features rapidly. I have built component libraries that reduced design-to-development cycle time by 40%, led major workflow redesigns that cut user errors by 60%, and designed scalable frameworks that earned strong stakeholder satisfaction scores.
