What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful design projects and continue to grow professionally.

With over 6 years of experience in product design, I have led and executed user-centric initiatives that have significantly improved user engagement and satisfaction. My journey has been marked by two promotions and the opportunity to lead a talented team of 5 designers. I am passionate about fostering a culture of design excellence, which I have achieved through the development of comprehensive design guidelines and training programs.

In my recent role as Product Design Lead at OxygenX, I designed a comprehensive design system that ensured consistency across all products. My ability to conduct user research has allowed me to gain valuable insights into customer pain points, translating these findings into actionable design solutions that align with business goals. I have a proven track record of enhancing user experiences, as demonstrated by my work at Glover, where I improved user feedback ratings and boosted revenue through higher engagement.
