I design scalable, user-centered digital products from MVPs to global consumer experiences.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design meaningful, user-centered digital products where complex workflows can become simple, scalable experiences. I value close collaboration with founders, product teams, engineers, and researchers from early concepts through launch.

I've designed user-centered products for Klarna, Walmart, and early-stage ventures, turning complex journeys into clear web and mobile experiences.

At Klarna, I helped redesign the app and led a scalable settlement flow across markets, products, and payment methods. At Zemoga for Walmart, I improved omnichannel shopping across search, cart, checkout, returns, and Walmart+, using personalization to create more seamless customer journeys.

Today, I work with VendoIQ and The Innovation Studio to shape AI, SaaS, and enterprise products from concept through MVP launch, including UX, UI, design systems, and developer-ready Figma handoffs.
