What I'm looking for

I seek remote or relocation-friendly roles where I can lead product design and design systems for SaaS/AI/Web3 products, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive measurable UX improvements.

I am a Senior Product Designer with over 8 years of experience designing and delivering user-centred digital products across SaaS, AI, Web3, and enterprise platforms. I lead product design initiatives, define UX strategy, own design systems, and collaborate closely with engineering and distributed cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, consistent experiences.

My work blends strong UX research, interaction design, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing with advanced proficiency in Figma, Framer, and other design tools. I have driven measurable improvements in usability and workflow efficiency on projects for blockchain, AI, and SaaS platforms while working remotely with teams across Europe, Asia, and North America.
