What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated product and user experience designer with a strong background in creating user-centric interfaces across various industries. My experience spans consultancy and in-house roles, where I've led projects from inception to execution, driving collaboration and designing using systematic thinking. I find joy in producing great-looking and feeling designs that work, and I'm passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to innovative projects.
Throughout my career, I've established and coordinated design communities, driven design system development, and implemented design consistency across multiple platforms. My work has consistently focused on solving unique and complex problems to delight both users and clients. I have a proven track record of enhancing user experiences and ensuring compliance with accessibility standards while maintaining high design quality.
I'm looking for my next challenge where I can drive design as a core pillar of the product lifecycle, engage with cross-functional teams, and lead projects that genuinely solve user problems. I am committed to fostering a people-first and enjoyable work culture while coaching and training both clients and internal staff in design and tooling skills.
