What I'm looking for

I’m looking to design purposeful web and mobile products where I can own end-to-end experiences, collaborate closely with developers, and keep improving clarity, usability, and user journeys through research, prototyping, and iteration.

I’m a Product Designer with 3 years experience creating clean, thoughtful, user-friendly designs for both web and mobile. I enjoy simplifying complex ideas and turning them into interfaces that just make sense.

Over the years, I’ve worked on real client projects, collaborated with design teams, and owned full product experiences—from wireframes to polished screens. I’m comfortable using Figma and I love building work that feels purposeful, not just pretty.

I’ve also supported learning and design growth: as a Product Design Facilitator, I taught product design through hands-on sessions and trained students in user-centered design and teamwork. In design roles, I’ve delivered dashboards, user flows, and a design system focused on clarity, mobile responsiveness, and reducing friction in the user journey.
