What I'm looking for

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

As a Lead Product Designer and Product Owner, I have over a decade of experience in creating digital experiences that not only look great but also function seamlessly. My approach is centered around balancing business needs, user goals, and technical realities. I thrive in collaborative environments, whether I'm conducting user interviews, building design systems in Figma, or engaging in roadmap discussions on Notion. My passion lies in solving real problems with clean, usable solutions.

In my recent role at Spatial Front, I collaborated with various government stakeholders to deliver intuitive and accessible solutions. I led the creation of high-fidelity prototypes and maintained internal design systems, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards. My experience as a QA Design Mentor at Avocademy allowed me to guide students in UX research and design, providing actionable feedback that contributed to their success. I have also led teams in designing branded digital experiences and produced numerous videos, showcasing my versatility in the design field.
