I’m a UI/UX and product designer focused on building clear, user-centered experiences across mobile and desktop. I’ve led design for finance and portfolio management, reworked complex ERP flows to reduce cognitive load, and delivered pixel-precise UI/UX QA to keep designs consistent across platforms. I also bring strong end-to-end product design capabilities: leading design teams, creating design systems, and partnering with developers to streamline workflows. From AI-powered marketing and CRM experiences to med-tech regulatory tools and internal QA utilities, I enjoy turning complex requirements into intuitive interfaces that improve usability, engagement, and operational efficiency.
