Growing from
crafting interfaces
to shaping products.
I started my design journey in 2019 and have since spent more than six years designing products across SaaS, e-commerce, recruitment, fintech, and enterprise.
Along the way I was promoted to Design Operations Lead, mentoring designers, building scalable design systems, and establishing review practices that raised quality across teams.
My work bridges research with execution: I translate insight into structure, and structure into refined, human-centered interfaces.
Today I leverage AI-assisted workflows to accelerate research synthesis and prototyping, while keeping every final decision grounded in human-centered design.
