I'm a detail-oriented Lead UX/UI Designer with over a decade of experience spanning branding, product, and web development. My work covers the full design spectrum — from marketing and social media to app interfaces and design systems — and increasingly extends into frontend development, where I use AI-powered tools like Cursor to implement changes, run A/B tests, and maintain production code. I bring a holistic approach to design and a pragmatic, organized communication style that keeps complex, multi-track projects on course.
