## About

```text
As a freelance Product Designer, I designed the MVP of an AI consumer app, taking it from scoping through its core flows. I also work across regulated flows, data-heavy internal tools, and mobile apps, from discovery to final UI.

At Goliath Data, I took loosely defined problems to shipped UI and designed CRM workflows and dashboards used daily by investors and their teams. At RAKBANK, I redesigned the investments area of its mobile app, using customer research while working within compliance rules and mandatory disclosures.
