What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead user-centered design, build scalable design systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable UX improvements.

I am a Senior UI/UX designer with a BSc in Computer Science and hands-on experience across startups and enterprise clients. I lead design initiatives, conduct user research, and deliver responsive, user-centered products that improve key metrics.

At Cape Wesley Consulting I introduced component libraries and design systems and improved client onboarding success rates by 40%. Previously, I managed end-to-end product design across logistics, fintech, and real estate projects, reducing developer rework by 25%.

My work includes designing mobile and web applications — from high-fidelity Figma prototypes to usability testing and A/B experiments — and building solutions that scaled to over 1,000 users for campus services. I prioritize accessibility, collaboration, and measurable outcomes.

I hold the Google UX Design Certificate, have led student and community initiatives in AI and outreach, and bring strong communication and cross-functional teamwork to every project.
