What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my design expertise to create impactful user experiences.

As a Senior Product Designer with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in creating user-centered digital products across AI-driven platforms, mobile apps, and websites. My journey has taken me through both early-stage startups and creative agencies, where I've successfully led end-to-end design for complex B2B tools and high-performing consumer experiences. I am passionate about UX strategy, scalable design systems, and fostering cross-functional collaboration.

Currently, I work as a Senior UX/UI Designer at Mediaengine, where I deliver user-centered design solutions that enhance user engagement and conversion flows. I take pride in managing comprehensive design systems and UI kits, ensuring design consistency while accelerating project delivery. My role also involves mentoring junior designers, supporting their growth, and adapting quickly to new industry domains to provide valuable UX expertise in agile teams.

Previously, I pioneered the product design function at Peregrine.ai, a deep-tech startup, where I collaborated closely with machine learning and data science teams. I led the design of core products, established scalable design processes, and contributed to successful early-stage funding by aligning design direction with proof-of-concept goals. My diverse background in freelance web and graphic design has equipped me with a unique perspective on delivering engaging and user-friendly designs.
