What I'm looking for

I want a design leadership role where I can lead cross-functional teams, build scalable design systems, and simplify complex B2B workflows into intuitive products in product-led companies that value DX.

I am a technical product designer with 5+ years designing complex B2B and SaaS platforms, combining a strong engineering foundation with human-centered design to deliver scalable solutions across web, mobile, and API documentation.

I founded and led CTRL Ltd, driving end-to-end design for QuickSalesPOS and other products—generating $120K+ ARR, achieving 85% user satisfaction, reducing onboarding time by 75%, and cutting development time by 40% through design systems and tighter design-to-code collaboration.

I focus on design systems, developer experience (DX), dual-audience interfaces, and workflow automation, and I enjoy leading cross-functional teams to translate complex technical constraints into intuitive, production-ready user experiences.
