What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth, where I can leverage my design expertise to create impactful user experiences.

I am a Product Design Leader with over 10 years of experience in scaling digital products from inception to global reach, impacting over 15 million users and contributing to more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue. My expertise lies in building high-performing design teams, establishing enterprise-grade design systems, and leveraging data-driven methodologies to enhance user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led design strategies across various sectors, including fintech and e-commerce. At HydrogenPay, I scaled the design organization from 8 to over 26 members while achieving a remarkable 9.3x improvement in critical user task completion. My role as Chief Design Officer at Credo allowed me to build a design function from the ground up, leading to significant user onboarding improvements and industry recognition.

As a founder and CEO of Theyutes.com, I created a marketplace that connects merchants with influencers, achieving over 10,000 successful deliveries. My passion for design and technology drives me to continuously seek innovative solutions that enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
