What I'm looking for

I'm seeking full-time remote UX/UI opportunities in corporate tech, valuing design leadership and innovation.

I'm a product-focused UX/UI designer with over six years of experience in designing and scaling digital products across various platforms, including e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, and fintech. My journey has taken me through both startup and corporate tech environments, where I've successfully crafted elegant, responsive web and mobile applications rooted in user research and conversion strategy.

Throughout my career, I've led end-to-end design processes for B2B SaaS tools, modernized legacy platforms, and mentored junior designers. My passion lies in building scalable systems and delivering meaningful user experiences. I thrive in remote-first environments and am committed to promoting accessibility and inclusive design practices.
