What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue to grow as a designer.

I am a curious and creative Product Designer who believes that design is my superpower. I thrive on turning ideas into thoughtful, user-friendly experiences that solve real problems. My experience spans across various aspects of design, including Experience Design, Interaction Design, and User Research, allowing me to create products that people genuinely enjoy using.

Currently, I work as a Sr. Content Safety Moderation Specialist at TikTok, where I conduct user interviews and competitive analysis to inform design decisions. My role involves ensuring that content adheres to community guidelines and collaborating with cross-functional teams to address user safety concerns. I have also led projects such as the redesign of CLS’s website, enhancing user navigation and brand identity.

In addition to my design skills, I have a solid foundation in full-stack development, which enables me to understand the technical aspects of the projects I work on. I am proficient in tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD, and I am always eager to learn and adapt to new technologies to improve my design process.
