Design strategist transforming complex problems into simple, user-centered digital experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a design strategist with 10+ years of experience turning complex problems into simple, delightful experiences by combining behavioral psychology with rapid prototyping.
I have led UI and UX efforts across web and mobile projects—spearheading landing page and full website redesigns, creating unified visual languages, and establishing design systems that improved engagement and recognition.
My work includes leading UI for a link-sharing platform, driving a 45% increase in user engagement and a 30% reduction in bounce rates, and contributing to a 70% increase in brand visibility for early-stage startups.
I partner with remote teams to conduct UX research (contextual inquiry, card sorting, moderated usability testing) and deliver consistent, scalable designs using tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and prototyping workflows.
