What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles where I can lead UX and product design for regulated financial or insurance products, collaborate cross-functionally, build design systems, and apply accessibility and research-driven practices to scale impactful user experiences.

I am a UX/Product Designer with 6+ years designing end-to-end user experiences for complex, regulated financial and insurance products. I champion user-centered design, accessibility (WCAG), and usable interfaces that meet business and compliance needs.

I have deep, hands-on Figma expertise—creating wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, interactive prototypes, and building scalable design systems to ensure consistent, accessible products and smooth design-to-development handoffs.

I collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, risk, compliance, and research/data partners to validate solutions through usability testing and data-informed insights, delivering clarity in complex workflows like credit, loans, insurance, and mortgage products.

With a front-end background in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and formal training in UX and front-end development, I bridge design and engineering to produce feasible, responsive interfaces that improve customer experience and support business goals.
