Lead Product Designer | B2B SaaS and Marketplaces Expert | Ex-Etsy | Designer that Codes
I'm a Product Design leader with a strong track record of driving impactful, data-informed design solutions at global B2C companies and B2B startups. This includes Etsy (B2C: Personalized shopping experiences) and CityBldr (B2B: AI-powered real estate acquisition). Currently, I lead design at CityBldr, optimizing the real estate acquisition funnel by streamlining workflows and leveraging AI to enhance deal intelligence. Previously, at Etsy, I crafted personalized buyer experiences that exceeded annual sales goals and drove significant topline growth through experimentation. My expertise spans the entire product lifecycle, from identifying high-value opportunities to designing scalable solutions that drive engagement and revenue. As a cross-functional collaborator, I bring together design, engineering, and data to ship high-impact products. I'm passionate about building a culture of innovation, mentorship, and continuous learning within design teams.
