About

Senior Product Designer with 6+ years designing SaaS, B2B, and B2C products across startups and agencies, including 4+ years leading design remotely with US and global teams. What I bring to a team: * Proven 0–1 experience, designing and shipping products from concept to launch.
 * A founder's mindset. Ownership over outcomes, not just deliverables. * User research and testing skills to guide decisions, not just validate designs. * Strong track record of building conversion-focused landing pages. * Clear communication, attention to detail, and openness to feedback. I work end-to-end. From discovery and research through to visual design and engineering handoff. Every decision is grounded in user insight and business intent. I balance trade-offs between user needs, business goals, and technical constraints. My work has contributed to measurable improvements in user growth, engagement, and task completion across FinTech, EdTech, and healthcare products, including 100% client retention and +28% growth in new client acquisition within 6 months. I think in acquisition, retention, revenue, growth, and I design with obsessive attention to detail.
