About

I am a Senior Product Designer with experience in Fintech and complex SaaS. I specialize in UX process and methodologies, integrating AI tools into the design lifecycle to rapid-prototype concepts, automate user testing analysis, and bridge the gap with Engineering. I’m committed to data-driven growth and solving operational friction through user-centric innovation.

I’ve led design efforts across global teams and markets, from banking to logistics, always focusing on trust, cognitive load, and scalable design systems. I enjoy translating complex business and AI-driven requirements into intuitive, transparent interfaces and collaborating closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders to ship meaningful outcomes.

Overview:
Legacy operations were stifled by high cognitive load: users juggled 5 disparate windows and performed manual Excel updates just to complete a single shipment. My goal was to transform 4 disconnected tools into 1 unified platform. The result is a centralized SaaS that reduces operational friction, cutting average task time by 90% (from 60 to 8 minutes) for users across 15 global plants.

Approach:
I applied System Thinking and OOUX (Object-Oriented UX) to map the complex relationships between 200+ user roles and logistical data. Moving beyond traditional flows, I utilized AI-accelerated workflows to rapidly prototype and validate complex logic. This allowed me to deliver a scalable, modular architecture that simplifies decision-making without sacrificing the data density required by expert users.
