What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that values innovation and user-centered design, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I'm a Product Designer with 4 years of experience crafting thoughtful, data-informed digital experiences across Media, Web3, and Healthcare. My expertise lies in simplifying complex systems through user-centered design, and I have a strong foundation in interaction design, design thinking, and systems thinking. I thrive in Agile and Lean environments, leading cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions.

At Forbes Media, I led the design of a scalable self-service logo portal, automating a manual workflow that reduced workload by 70% and generated $14M in revenue. I redesigned the subscription checkout experience, significantly boosting performance with an 82% conversion rate. My passion for design advocacy drives me to bridge the gap between user needs, business goals, and product innovation, especially at the intersection of emerging technologies like blockchain and generative AI.

My previous experience includes developing a scalable design system at Siemens Healthineers and contributing to the design of Forbes’ first Web3 product. I have been recognized with awards for my contributions, including a Provisional Patent for the development of Frase by Forbes and honors at the Webby Awards and Digiday Technology Awards.
