Senior Product Designer driving UX for enterprise SaaS and mobile.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years designing end-to-end UX for web and mobile, focused on enterprise-scale SaaS and consumer platforms. I partner closely with product managers and engineers to turn loosely defined problems into polished, usable products.
At Classera I own UX across core product areas, driving feature development and broader revamps while contributing to our design system for consistency and quality. I take projects from early discovery through research, prototyping, and developer handoff.
Previously I led UX at early-stage startups and consumer products, conducting usability testing and user interviews to inform product direction and validate designs. My work spans information architecture, interaction design, responsive UI, and visual asset creation.
I emphasize cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, and aligning teams on UX standards, and I'm skilled with Figma, FigJam, prototyping workflows, and design-system-driven delivery.
