What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead product design for scalable digital experiences—driving discovery, usability research, prototyping, and design systems, while collaborating with founders, PMs, and engineers to improve strategy, delivery, and continuous improvement.

I’m a Product Designer with over 5 years of experience designing intuitive, scalable digital experiences across SaaS, eCommerce, and healthcare platforms. I bring product thinking to discovery, usability research, prototyping, and design systems—so design decisions align with business goals.

In my recent roles, I’ve led end-to-end design lifecycles, built and maintained scalable design systems, and mentored designers to improve delivery quality. I’ve delivered measurable outcomes like reducing UI inconsistencies by 50%+, improving development efficiency, and driving redesign impact such as a 35% bounce-rate reduction, while building prototypes and documentation that speed up dev handoff.
