Product designer and UX-focused design lead driving user engagement and retention through research-led design.
What I'm looking for
I am a product designer and UX-focused design lead with experience improving engagement, retention, and accessibility across web products. I combine user research, usability testing, and rapid prototyping to inform design decisions and deliver measurable outcomes.
At Traavu I led design initiatives that increased user engagement by 15% and user retention by 20% through responsive dashboards and improved navigation. I collaborate closely with developers and stakeholders to streamline product development and ensure design alignment.
Previously I worked in IT and data-visualization roles where I improved website accessibility compliance by 40%, reduced onboarding time by 20%, and boosted team productivity via clear data visualizations and user flows. I emphasize WCAG standards, usability testing, and evidence-based design.
I hold a Bachelor of Engineering and certifications in Systems Thinking, AI Career Essentials, Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques, and UX storytelling. I’m motivated by solving user problems, collaborating across teams, and building accessible, research-driven experiences.
