What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my design skills to create impactful user experiences while contributing to a dynamic team.

Experienced and data-driven UI/UX Designer with 5+ years of proven success delivering digital products across SaaS platforms, fintech, startups, and mobile applications. Skilled in designing full product experiences from concept to delivery, including mobile banking apps used by over 2 million users, AI-powered travel planners, and SaaS B2B data platforms.

Currently leading UX design at Yagro, where I built the company’s first design system and improved user engagement and revenue through research-driven UI enhancements. Extensive freelance experience includes designing core mobile banking flows for one of Europe’s top banks and leading design for an AI-powered itinerary planner that secured InnovateUK grants and achieved outstanding user satisfaction metrics.

Technical knowledge includes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, WordPress, and accessibility standards.

With an MSc in Computing and a Certificate in UI/UX Design, I bring strong academic knowledge combined with real-world experience to deliver high-impact design solutions that align user needs with business goals.

Actively open to UI/UX design opportunities in SaaS, fintech, AI, or startup environments where I can apply my skills to create intuitive, scalable, and user-centered digital products.
