What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can use UX strategy, research, and interaction design to improve onboarding and retention. I want to partner cross-functionally, build design systems, and bring thoughtful brand storytelling to every user touchpoint.

I’m a Product Designer with over 2 years of experience shaping intuitive, visually refined digital experiences across SaaS industries. I blend UX strategy, interaction design, and brand storytelling to build products that feel purposeful and engaging.

My work is consistently research-driven: I focus on user-centered thinking, customer-centred design, and usability/accessibility to remove friction. In recent work, I enhanced an onboarding flow by restructuring navigation logic—cutting task completion time by 42% and improving retention on first use.

I design end-to-end product experiences, from high-fidelity wireframes and prototypes to visual mockups, using Figma and Adobe XD. I also collaborate closely with engineers, marketers, and founders to translate complex requirements into elegant, functional interfaces that hold up in real user journeys.

Beyond product design, I strengthen how brands show up in the experience by developing digital communication systems, visual identity systems, and UX writing/content strategy. I’ve delivered a full brand revamp that increased customer conversion by 28%, and directed a campaign that generated a 3× spike in audience interaction within six weeks.
