What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation, collaboration, and user-centered design, with opportunities for mentorship and growth.

As a Product Designer with over 8 years of experience, I specialize in delivering structured, user-centric solutions across SaaS, procurement-tech, and enterprise systems. My expertise lies in translating complex, data-heavy workflows into intuitive multi-platform experiences that drive measurable business impact. I have demonstrated leadership in scalable design systems and cross-functional product collaboration, particularly in fintech-aligned UX strategy.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led design strategies that resulted in significant improvements, such as a 75% reduction in cycle time and an elevation of customer satisfaction scores from 2.0 to 4.2. My approach combines systems thinking with usability-led iterations, ensuring stakeholder alignment and clarity in design. I leverage Generative AI to enhance design efficiency and support informed decision-making, which has proven invaluable in my roles.

I am passionate about mentoring teams and fostering a culture of innovation. My work at Penny Software exemplifies my commitment to aligning UX initiatives with business goals, ultimately driving growth and enhancing user experiences. I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of design and creating impactful solutions.
