What I'm looking for

I seek senior design leadership roles in product-driven, collaborative companies where I can scale design systems, mentor teams, and drive measurable business impact.

I am a Head of Design and UX/UI leader with 12+ years of experience shaping creative direction, brand identity, and product experiences across SaaS, enterprise, and startup ecosystems.

I have led and mentored global, remote design teams, built scalable design systems, and partnered with senior stakeholders to deliver design-led transformations that improved adoption, usability, and engagement.

My work has produced measurable impact — examples include increasing enterprise SaaS adoption by 40%, improving platform adoption by 15%, and reducing redesign cycles by 25% through research and usability testing.

I am passionate about building inclusive, collaborative, high-performance design cultures, practicing data-informed and accessible design (WCAG), and using tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Suite to drive consistent brand and product experiences.
