What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote product design opportunities where I can own end-to-end UX, build design systems, and deliver measurable improvements for FinTech, eCommerce, or SaaS teams, with visa sponsorship if needed.

I’m a multidisciplinary Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing web and mobile applications, brand identities, and motion graphics. I bring user-centered thinking and strategic design principles to every engagement, shaping solutions from discovery and wireframes to polished delivery.

I’ve led end-to-end product design work across FinTech, eCommerce, and SaaS contexts, with proven outcomes like a 40% increase in user retention at Trackshields and a 48% retention lift at The Expo. I strengthen products by conducting user research and usability testing, then translating insights into clear UX flows and scalable design systems.

Beyond product UX, I also create full brand identity systems—logos, color systems, typography, and style guides—and develop motion and marketing visuals. Whether working in Agile/Scrum with developers and stakeholders or mentoring teams, I focus on design-to-code consistency and measurable improvements.
