What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote Product Designer role at a B2B or B2B2C product company. I'd like to work on complex workflows and data-heavy interfaces, own design end to end, and collaborate with designers, product managers, and engineers. I'm also interested in opportunities to design AI products.

I'm a Product Designer with 4+ years in design, focused on B2B and B2B2C SaaS products for desktop and mobile web. My work centres on large tables, dashboards, complex workflows, and systems with different user roles and permissions.

I design products end to end, from requirements and user flows to UI and developer handoff. My experience includes taking products from zero to one and owning design across several products in parallel.

I introduced a process for defining requirements before design and standardised handoff through documentation, prototypes, and component libraries built on design tokens. I also hired and mentored a designer.

Before moving into design, I spent nine years as a backend engineer, working on enterprise SaaS and B2B IoT. This background helps me understand the logic behind interfaces, discuss implementation with developers, and account for technical constraints early.
