Senior Product Designer and UX/UI designer with 6+ years delivering research-led design for SaaS, CRM, ERP, mobile, and AI-driven platforms across startups and enterprises. I help companies create products that work for users and drive real business results by combining product strategy, design leadership and business goals. For example, this helps to reduce adoption rates and increase operational efficiency. But it wouldn't be interesting if I didn't love discoveries and finding new opportunities for product growth.
