What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role designing user-centered products where I can lead design systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable growth and accessibility improvements.

I am an interaction designer with a background in launching user-centered products, brand systems, and data-informed interfaces.

I co-led brand development and delivered an approved identity system within one week, and designed and launched websites and email flows that increased waitlist signups by 200% and campaign engagement by 30%.

As founding designer of the SmartVoting platform, I designed a predictive voting interface, delivered a full brand identity in two weeks, and helped attract 5M+ unique visitors in under two months while building a 6K+ follower social presence.

I work across research, prototyping, design systems, and front-end technologies to create accessible, scalable products and have experience pitching solutions to stakeholders and developing prototypes from user feedback.
