About

I’m Carma Sharon, a Senior Design Lead with 15+ years shaping end-to-end UX/UI for B2B SaaS, fintech, and financial services—spanning discovery and research through prototyping, delivery, and engineering handoff. I currently own the user experience across five complex B2B SaaS platforms for an ASX-listed financial services business, guiding a design team while staying hands-on with the highest-impact work.

I’m passionate about making accessibility and business outcomes part of the design brief from day one, and I enjoy building systems that scale across teams and products. I’ve delivered measurable results like rapid broker-facing CRM adoption, rebuilt grant management experiences to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and supported a mobile banking redesign that earned national and local design awards.
