What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and user-centered design.

I am a Senior Product Designer with over 9 years of experience in design, including more than 7 + years focused on product design. My career has been marked by a proven track record of driving user satisfaction and revenue growth through high-quality, user-centered UI design across multiple platforms. I have a strong background in developing and implementing design systems, conducting user research, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to prioritize and implement user feedback.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led design initiatives that resulted in significant improvements in user engagement and product efficiency. For instance, at Whoosh, I increased the company's onboarding rate by 50% and played a key role in securing funding from Google Startups. My recent work at LottoStar involved creating a comprehensive design system that boosted design efficiency by 80% and contributed to a 15% increase in revenue. I believe in mentoring and sharing knowledge, striving to empower others in the design community.
