What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead marketplace and growth-focused product design as a senior IC or design lead—partnering with data and engineering to run experiments, improve conversion, and scale design systems with measurable impact.

I’m a Product Designer with 15+ years of experience building and scaling marketplace products. I specialize in experimentation, conversion optimization, and design systems—turning customer insights into measurable business performance.

At Civitatis, I’ve helped evolve the product organization from early digital products to senior, end-to-end marketplace initiatives. I partner with product, data, and engineering to identify opportunities, run experiments, and deliver impact across the full customer lifecycle.

As Principal Product Designer, I led complex UX across key marketplace journeys and contributed to scalable foundations through a growing design system. I also delivered the end-to-end design of a multi-sided B2B ecosystem connecting suppliers, agencies, and affiliates—redefining how supply, distribution, and demand interact.

Earlier, I led UX strategy as Head of UX / Product Design, scaling processes that connect product, data, and engineering for structured experimentation. Before that, I co-founded a design studio and worked as a Senior UX/UI Designer on enterprise platforms, combining usability improvements with hands-on front-end execution.
