What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity, collaboration, and innovation, where I can lead design initiatives and contribute to impactful user experiences.

With over 17 years of experience in product design, I specialize in transforming complex business challenges into intuitive user experiences. My proven track record in driving conversion increases and user satisfaction through strategic design solutions has positioned me as a leader in the field. I excel in leading cross-functional teams, establishing design systems, and advocating for user-centered approaches while aligning with business objectives.

Throughout my career, I have managed design teams across multiple regions, ensuring consistent brand experiences across digital platforms. My recent roles have involved contributing to design systems and leading digital product design initiatives for global companies, where I successfully increased conversion rates and delivered user experiences that are both useful and enjoyable. I am passionate about mentoring and guiding teams to achieve their best work.
