What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and user-centric design, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow professionally.

With over 18 years of experience in Product and UX Design, I have consistently driven digital transformation for both startups and established corporations. My approach has evolved from focusing solely on user-centric design to bridging the gap between design, development, and business teams through strategic initiatives. I lead by fostering collaborative environments, emphasizing clear processes, and integrating comprehensive design systems that optimize efficiency and consistency.

I leverage AI-driven tools to create personalized, business-aligned experiences, accelerating innovation and time-to-market. My work is centered on delivering strategic design solutions that drive tangible business outcomes. I am passionate about creating seamless user experiences that not only meet user needs but also align with business objectives, ensuring a holistic approach to product design.
