What I'm looking for

I seek product-focused roles where I can lead user-centered design, collaborate cross-functionally, and solve complex UX problems while growing design systems and mentoring teams.

I am a Lead UI/UX Designer with extensive experience delivering end-to-end design for enterprise and SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and websites. I specialize in usability testing, competitor analysis, persona creation, high-fidelity prototyping and building intuitive design systems.

I have led cross-functional teams and collaborated globally to create UX research reports, visual interfaces, and motion design while driving design thinking across organizations. I am proficient in Framer, Figma and WordPress and leverage AI tools like MidJourney to enhance marketing creatives.

My work spans landing pages, admin portals, dashboards and complete website interfaces, and I have independently managed social media branding and produced diverse design assets that solved complex problems and improved user engagement.
