What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design user-centered web and mobile products with collaborative product and engineering teams, using research, testing, and scalable design systems to improve engagement and conversion.

I've led end-to-end product design for 15+ web and mobile client projects at Blackish-Corporate, increasing user engagement by 40% and reducing user drop-off by 25% through research, usability testing, and scalable visual systems.

Previously at TechInnovate Solutions, I designed fintech and e-commerce experiences serving 50,000+ users and improved conversion rates by 30% through A/B testing and user interviews. I bring hands-on UX research, prototyping, design systems, frontend development, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.
