What I'm looking for

I seek UX/product design roles where I can lead end-to-end experiences, build scalable design systems, collaborate cross-functionally, and impact enterprise web products.

I am a UX designer grounded in strategy and empathy, with seven years designing enterprise B2B and web platforms. I lead end-to-end UX/UI work—from research and flows to high-fidelity UI and scalable design systems—and partner closely with product and engineering to ship results at scale.
