What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product design, design systems, and AI-augmented workflows for teams building scalable fintech, B2B SaaS, or consumer products with measurable business impact.

At Skeps, I lead design strategy and operations for consumer and merchant financing products, including platforms processing $150M+ in monthly loans. I built a six-person design team, created AI-powered prototyping workflows that cut turnaround by 50%, and designed ClarityPay journeys that drove $2M+ in JetBlue transactions within two weeks.

Through Year One Design, I direct brand and product work across energy-tech, ecommerce, fintech, and entertainment. My work has helped Offgrid Labs earn TechCrunch and Bloomberg coverage, Mosaic Cinemas raise $5M in seed funding, Cugo World lift conversion by 30%, and Suncrypto grow MAU from 300K to 900K.

I’ve led product design at Tartan HQ and Zoop.One, building design systems, API dashboards, and consumer products that supported 20+ enterprise customers and 5M+ monthly identity verifications.

Earlier, I designed financial-services experiences for IDFC First Bank, Edelweiss Mutual Funds, Mahindra Finance, and PNB MetLife at VMLY&R, earning a Cannes Lion and Campaign Agency of the Year recognition. I build design systems that scale, improve team operations, and drive measurable business outcomes.
