Product designer driving user-centered digital products and measurable growth across mobile and web.
What I'm looking for
I am a product designer with experience leading end-to-end design for mobile and web products, from user research and prototyping to handoff and delivery. I focus on embedding user-centered design into product development and building processes that scale.
At Hapi I redesigned core investment flows across iOS, Android, and web, delivering substantial uplift in order placements and contributing to rapid user growth across the region. I also established Hapi’s first user research process and a 400+ user feedback community to inform continuous product improvements.
Previously I led visual and brand design projects, drove content strategy growth, and ran design thinking workshops as a freelance creative leader. I bring strong skills in Figma, Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, Framer, and collaboration tools, combined with a practical, metrics-driven approach to design.
