What I'm looking for
I’m a product designer with 4+ years of experience leading design across AI platforms, SaaS products, and marketplace systems. I take products from 0→1, improving activation and retention, and building scalable design systems that accelerate delivery—especially across complex workflows.
I’ve partnered with founders, product managers, and engineers to define product strategy, prioritize features, and deliver high-impact UX. Highlights include founding a two-sided matching platform (1,100+ active users), improving onboarding/KYC completion (25% to ~55%), and designing AI-assisted workflows that contributed to a 35% improvement in service performance metrics—while also mentoring and leading a small design team.
