What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead product design for teams that value craft, clarity, and accessibility—where I can build scalable design systems, run user research, and ship workflows that earn user trust.

I’m a product designer with 4+ years designing high-stakes workflows where craft and clarity directly affect user trust. I’ve led redesigns that materially improved operations—like cutting COA creation time by 71% (45 min to 13 min) through compliance workflow redesign.

At Betterly, I lead product strategy, UX, brand identity, website, and visual design for an adaptive clothing startup—owning creative direction and stakeholder decisions from concept through production-ready design. Previously, I led UX/UI for complex B2B SaaS platforms and shipped a COA Template Builder, plus built versioned design systems with tokens, documentation, and contribution guidelines used across modules.

I care about accessible, evidence-based experiences: I’ve run usability studies with 80+ participants and designed multisensory AR learning experiences focused on accessibility and inclusive education. Whether building component libraries to reduce delivery bottlenecks or planning developer handoff, I stay focused on clarity, usable interaction, and scalable systems that teams can adopt confidently.
