What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end fintech product design, build scalable design systems, and partner with engineering to ship clear, trustworthy experiences that reduce payment friction and improve measurable outcomes.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with a frontend mindset, driven by measurable impact in fintech products. At TRU (formerly Shahry), I spearheaded an end-to-end consumer app redesign and helped maintain 87% active user engagement across 78.7M users, while architecting a design system from scratch (design tokens, component library, and documentation) to enable consistent delivery across 4+ products.

My work consistently improves trust, usability, and payment outcomes: I reduced payment failures by 50% and increased on-time payments by 60% at MoneyFellows through full payment experience redesign, and I cut payment completion time by 30%. I also lead research and optimization—ethnographic mapping, usability testing, A/B testing, and usability benchmarking—to eliminate friction (e.g., reducing cart abandonment by 12% with a transparent installment calculator) and strengthen operational visibility with real-time dashboards.
