About

I’m a UI/UX Designer with 4+ years turning ideas into clear, fast, and friendly interfaces. I work end-to-end in Figma—mapping user flows, building lightweight design systems, and refining the details that matter (type, spacing, states, motion). My focus is usability, accessibility, and consistent visual rhythm across breakpoints, whether it’s a landing page or a single-product store.

I like connecting design to real outcomes: shaping the narrative, reducing friction, and validating assumptions with quick iterations. I use AI to explore visual directions faster and leave a tidy handoff with reusable components and simple documentation. I’m collaborative, remote-ready (GMT-3), and easy to communicate with.
