What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead product and design-system strategy, collaborate closely with stakeholders to inform roadmaps and outcomes, and deliver measurable UX and beautiful UI and improvements in a growth-oriented company.

I am a senior UI/UX, brand, and product designer with over 12 years' experience delivering scalable design systems across fintech, healthcare, and high-growth platforms. I specialize in translating complex requirements into clear, high-fidelity product direction and aligning visual craft with business goals to reduce friction and improve delivery efficiency.

I've led product direction, design systems, and cross-functional design-engineering alignment at insuretech and logistics platforms, delivered company-wide design portals, and validated market assumptions through customer research. I prioritize developer collaboration, data-informed design, and building reusable component libraries to drive consistent, responsive experiences and measurable improvements in task completion and brand trust.
