UI/UX designer shaping research-driven product interfaces that ship.
What I'm looking for
I’m a UI/UX Designer with 2+ years of experience in end-to-end product design across fintech, hospitality, real estate, and consumer platforms. I’m collaborative by nature, research-driven by process, and focused on outcomes that reach users intact, including production-ready interfaces shipped to the App Store and Google Play.
I also led contract engagements where I defined personas, user flows, and information architecture, built reusable UI components, and validated designs through usability testing and iterative prototyping in Figma.
