What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product team where I can own end-to-end UX—from discovery and UX research to UI and developer handoff. I do best in fast-changing environments with clear problems, measurable outcomes, and room to iterate quickly.

I’m a Middle UI/UX Designer with 2+ years of experience across EdTech, SaaS, and iGaming. I own the full design cycle—from discovery and UX research to final UI and developer handoff—so teams can move from hypotheses to shippable screens confidently.

In iGaming work, I’ve designed mobile interfaces integrated with tracking systems, creating 30+ screens and 70+ banners and visual assets to attract and retain users. I also support data-informed decisions by participating in A/B testing of visual solutions with the product team.

Across product and freelance environments, I lead discovery (competitor analysis, CJM, user flows, problem definition, and hypothesis testing) and build practical design artifacts like interactive prototypes, UX/UI kits, and design systems. I’ve delivered major redesigns (15+ screens) and built admin panels from scratch while setting up clear handoff processes to reduce revision cycles under tight deadlines.
