What I'm looking for
With over 20 years of experience in product design, I am a UX Master Certified product design leader dedicated to creating innovative solutions that enhance user experiences. My journey has taken me through various roles, from founding my own design agency to leading product design teams in renowned companies. I thrive on challenges and have a proven track record of driving product success through user-centered design.
At Litmus, I spearheaded the research and design of AI-powered testing and successfully launched a net-new product — Litmus Personalize Essentials — growing our user base from zero to 600+ active accounts within 18 months. My leadership in managing the design system has resulted in enabling the team to redesign the whole platform within 2 months.
I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of designers, helping them grow and succeed in their careers. Over three years, I hired, managed, mentored and developed an entry-level designer through two promotions, advancing them from Associate to Junior and ultimately to full Product Designer while delivering exceptional results for our team. Mentored and coached senior designers and support specialists.
My experience spans across various industries, including B2B financial products and marketing design, where I have consistently delivered results through data-driven design strategies. I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of product design and contributing to impactful projects that resonate with users.
