Overview

Senior Product Designer with 10+ years of experience crafting end-to-end digital experiences rooted in a customer-first mindset. Bridging people’s needs and business goals through design that enhances usability, strengthens information architecture, and drives measurable impact across large-scale digital platforms.

UX 

UX Research, heuristic evaluations, A/B testing, usability studies, information architecture, journey mapping, personas, and quantitative data analysis to inform human-centered design decisions.

Interface Design

Designing and refining scalable UI systems, integrating brand identity, typography, and iconography into cohesive design languages. Providing visual direction and accessibility guidance to ensure clarity and engagement across responsive interfaces.

AI

I use AI as a strategic partner, leveraging LLMs to accelerate research planning, synthesize complex datasets, and uncover patterns across UXR findings and raw analytics. I’m exploring the use of generative tools for low-fi concepts, asset creation for internal presentations and early design explorations.

Interaction & Motion Design

Prototype design, micro-interactions, motion design, animation for digital interfaces, interaction flows, and user-centered storytelling to enhance engagement and conversion.

Collaboration & Leadership

Cross-functional alignment, presenting design rationale, influencing designers, facilitating workshops, and partnering with product, engineering, and research teams to inform design strategy.
