Product Designer driving user-centered, scalable B2B and consumer solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Product Designer with 10+ years delivering intuitive, scalable solutions across web, iOS, Android, and B2B SaaS, leading end-to-end design with a strategic lens that unites research, systems, and execution. I grow products and teams by defining product vision, building scalable design systems in Figma, and launching features — including AI and automation — that measurably improve efficiency and reduce support friction.
I have led enterprise and startup initiatives, from launching a B2B marketplace and internal tools to redesigning internal ticketing systems and accessible EPGs for TV environments. I align cross-functional teams through research-driven strategy, mentor distributed teams, and prioritize accessibility, performance, and measurable business outcomes.
