I am a Senior Product Designer specializing in UX strategy, SaaS platforms, and mobile applications for companies that need clarity, speed, and measurable outcomes. Formerly, I led UI design at Kraken, where I worked on complex, high-traffic financial products used globally. Since then, I have partnered with startups, scale-ups, and enterprise teams to design products that are intuitive, scalable, and aligned with real business goals. My work spans the full product lifecycle, from discovery and UX audits to design systems and high-fidelity delivery. I collaborate closely with founders, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders, often acting as a design lead or embedded partner rather than a pixel-only contributor.

Product designer with nearly a decade of experience turning complex ideas into intuitive digital products. As the first designer at a YC-backed startup, I helped shape the product from its early stages through its acquisition by Instacart, with additional experience spanning fintech, healthcare, and logistics. My focus is 0-to-1 product design: helping early-stage teams move from an idea to a polished, usable product without slowing down the momentum that makes startups successful. I work quickly, adapt as the product evolves, and use feedback to guide decisions along the way. If you need an experienced design partner who can jump in, bring clarity to ambiguity, and help get your product to market, let’s talk.

I help businesses build digital products that people actually want to use, by combining the rigour of a researcher with the craft of a designer. With 8+ years in UX research (from academic studies to usability testing and quantitative analysis) and 4 years designing web and mobile products, I work at the intersection of data and design. That means every recommendation I make is grounded in evidence, and every design decision has a clear "why" behind it. What I bring to your project: UX research & usability testing - uncovering what's really blocking your users Wireframes, user flows & prototypes in Figma - from early concepts to developer-ready specs Design audits - identifying friction points and aligning your product with accessibility and conversion best practices Storytelling across mediums - websites, apps, illustrations, and video, to communicate ideas clearly Past work has led to measurable improvements in session duration and bounce rates. I care about outcomes, not just deliverables.
