I design enterprise SaaS products, from research and architecture to design systems.

Message

I've designed digital products and software solutions for complex enterprises and startups since 2008, with extensive experience delivering SaaS platforms for B2B and B2C organisations.

At Flexera, I lead information architecture and integration for complex platform features, including dynamic persona-based navigation. I planned the end-to-end UX journey for Budget Alerts, built large-scale prototypes in Figma and Figma Make, and partnered with researchers on client interviews.

At Gearset, I led the design and launch of Role Based Access Control from ideation to release, conducted user research, and worked closely with product managers and engineers on new features. I also led design critiques and implementation planning for a design system updated with variables, design tokens, and a conventional naming structure.

My work also includes leading product design for global clients at Unosquare, shaping financial software at CME Group, and coordinating global design teams at Allstate. I enjoy simplifying complex features, building effective design systems, and helping teams understand the full product journey.
