What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and user-centered design in a dynamic environment.

With 15 years of experience in product design, I have dedicated the past decade to transforming complex concepts into user-friendly solutions in the blockchain industry. My journey has been marked by a commitment to clarity and usability, ensuring that users can navigate and engage with innovative technologies seamlessly.

At Mezo, I played a pivotal role as a Senior Product Designer, contributing to the design of the Points Portal and helping secure $150 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). My focus on user research and collaboration with engineering teams has allowed me to create impactful experiences that resonate with both novice and experienced users alike.

Previously, as the Lead Product Designer at Taho, I led the design of a browser-extension wallet that attracted 150,000 active users. My work involved evolving brand guidelines, conducting user research, and managing design systems to support product management initiatives. My experience at ConsenSys further solidified my expertise, where I contributed to over 30 blockchain projects, including the development of the Metamask browser extension.
