What I'm looking for

I want to lead end-to-end UX/UI, build design systems, and improve accessibility.

I am a Senior UX/UI Designer who transforms ideas into seamless digital experiences, combining strategic vision with pragmatic execution to solve real-world problems.

I’ve led end-to-end product work—driving app redesigns across mobile, web, tablet and kiosk, reducing booking steps by 50%, adding an offline ticketing feature to improve accessibility, and delivering enterprise solutions for 14 mobile apps that streamlined processes for 375,000+ contractors. Over seven years of leadership, I contributed to e-commerce growth from $4.2B to nearly $7.3B and supported $2.3B in online sales in 2022.

I build modular design systems in Figma, craft atomic wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes, and collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to boost retention, usability, and customer satisfaction.
