Senior Product Designer delivering end-to-end, user-driven products with measurable business impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior product designer with 8+ years of experience delivering end-to-end product design for web and mobile, often as the first design hire. I specialize in UX strategy, design systems, accessibility (WCAG), and AI-powered product experiences, and I have a proven track record of shipping beta products from concept to launch and improving usability with measurable impact.
I partner closely with product and engineering to define workflows, scale visual systems, and run user research and usability testing that drives adoption and consistency. I have led design efforts for large public-facing products and startups, co-founded a creative studio, and established scalable design foundations and processes under tight timelines.
