What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design user-centered digital products end to end, partnering with cross-functional teams to turn research, feedback, and business goals into measurable product improvements.

I've led end-to-end product design for TotemPole’s two-sided marketplace mobile app, TourTech’s healthcare patient-management app, and Swazei’s retail POS system. My work spans research, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI, responsive experiences, and reusable design systems.

I turn workflow friction into clearer, faster product experiences—such as reducing TourTech appointment scheduling from five screens to two and creating Figma component libraries that helped TotemPole’s engineering team implement designs 30% faster. I enjoy partnering closely with product managers, engineers, clinical teams, and stakeholders to validate decisions, improve adoption, and iterate from real user feedback.
