What I'm looking for

I’m looking to design AI-assisted, end-to-end product experiences where I can own outcomes, partner closely with engineering on implementation, and iterate fast using metrics, research, and high-quality design systems.

I’m a product designer who owns work end to end—from problem definition through launch and iteration—especially on complex, data-dense products like fintech dashboards and workflow-heavy tools.

AI is core to how I design: I start with LLMs to clarify intent and surface edge cases, then prototype flows and interfaces with AI coding tools, and finally bring validated concepts into Figma for system alignment and polish.

I’m comfortable collaborating closely with engineers, using front-end structure reasoning and clear communication to decide what moves into the product, while keeping UX quality and state coverage tight instead of relying on handoff.

I’ve supported fast, high-agency delivery across fintech and multi-client dashboards, and I also mentor other designers through crits and pattern sharing—helping raise quality through repeatable guidance.
