What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative product or design-systems role where I can lead Figma-based system architecture, deliver developer-ready assets, and solve complex UI challenges while growing with a cross-functional team.

I am a UI designer with over five years' experience creating intuitive interfaces across web, mobile, and embedded platforms. I specialize in design systems, design tokens, and bridging the gap between Figma designs and development implementation.

My work includes leading a design-system migration from Sketch to Figma, building component libraries with design tokens and auto-layout, and producing developer-ready specifications and assets for seamless hand-off. I have designed complex application interfaces and landing pages, presenting solutions to stakeholders and executive audiences.

I have a proven track record improving product engagement through thoughtful UI/UX—such as a dashboard redesign that increased user engagement by 30%—and I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into user-centered solutions.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and a UX certification from Google, and I bring strong visual craft, prototyping skills, and basic front-end knowledge to ensure designs are practical, accessible, and implementable.
