What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a product-focused design role where I can lead user research, craft inclusive UX/UI, collaborate with PMs and engineers, mentor designers, and deliver measurable, accessible product outcomes in a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I'm an innovative UX/UI designer who blends moderated user research with design thinking to build usable, accessible digital products. I led end-to-end design for property search platforms and enterprise tools, conducting research with 100+ participants and improving user satisfaction by 25% while reducing task completion time by 18%.

I craft sketches, wireframes, low- and high-fidelity prototypes using Adobe XD and Figma and draw on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ease implementation. I mentor junior designers, advocate for accessibility and inclusion, and collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to maintain design consistency and drive measurable product outcomes.
