Product Designer with strong experience in end-to-end UX/UI for B2B and consumer SaaS platforms. I specialize in designing scalable dashboards, admin tools, and marketing websites, translating complex workflows into clear, intuitive user experiences. I work extensively with Figma, building structured design systems, reusable component libraries, and scalable UI frameworks that support multi-tenant and subscription-based products. My approach combines strategic thinking, strong information architecture, and visual clarity with close collaboration alongside engineering teams to ensure seamless implementation. Having worked in startup environments, I am comfortable operating autonomously, iterating quickly, and designing products that balance usability, business goals, and long-term scalability.
