What I'm looking for
An AI Product Designer for Saas with a total of 5+ years of experience across product, experience and visual design. I sees user experience as an interconnected system.

At Sprih, I led user research, interaction design, and rapid prototyping for a SaaS platform. I shipped a scalable design system and features that streamlined processes and improved user retention.
As an Independent Product Design Strategist, I work with startups to shape digital experiences and rethink how people interact with emerging technology and how AI tools fit into everyday workflows.
At Studio Fronde, I designed and led UX/UI for its website, improving client engagement and conversion. My earlier work includes visual communication, brand strategy, and experiential graphics at IDFX Design and Dot Studio.
