@paulacano1
I design clear, scalable digital products from concept to development-ready UI.
What I'm looking for
At Ogilvy, I build scalable product experiences for a global brand, including a 40+ component Figma design system and a data-centralizing dashboard that turns dispersed social media metrics into decision-ready information.
I've also led end-to-end UI design for an AI-powered air logistics application at Synaptic Aviation, taking it from early concepts through wireframes, interactive prototypes, visual identity, and development-ready screens.
I translate user and business needs into clear, usable interfaces, partnering closely with product and engineering teams. I use Figma and AI tools to move quickly while maintaining craft across UX/UI, design systems, responsive design, and visual identity.
