What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to innovate and grow while delivering exceptional user experiences.

I'm a UX/UI designer with 3+ years of experience turning complex business workflows into clear, usable interfaces. I've designed ERP dashboards, GRC platforms, fintech tools, a SaaS CRM, POS systems and a public procurement platform, working both as a sole designer and as part of cross-functional product teams.

Some highlights:

Improved user navigation efficiency by 30% by redesigning core flows based on usability data
Cut enterprise client onboarding time by 40% through simplified UI patterns
Designed an AI-powered invoice scanning feature that reduced manual processing time by up to 90%
Built a multi-brand design system supporting ERP, GRC and fintech products

I work across the full design process, from user research and information architecture to high-fidelity prototypes and design systems in Figma. I've also mentored 25+ designers, so I'm comfortable explaining design decisions and collaborating closely with engineers and stakeholders.

Based in Baku (GMT+4), open to remote roles with overlap with European and Middle East and USA time zones.
