I'm a product designer with 12+ years experience in the design field. I specialize in creating beautiful digital products that integrate business goals with impactful user experience. In the past I've worked in tech companies from pre-seed to fortune 500. Industries include fintech, security & compliance, e-commerce and web-3 among others. I have worked in companies based in Europe, US and Asia- Pac regions. WHAT I DO I offer comprehensive skill sets in digital product design; distilling user needs, aligning with business goals & simplifying complex concepts into straightforward, seamless interactions. I come with a lifelong passion for innovation and creating meaningful designs. HOW I DO IT My design process starts and ends with the user. I tend to deep dive into user research along with understanding the domain to co-create relevant solutions for the problem. I focus on simplifying complexity and demystifying the digital world for the user. WHY WORK WITH ME Having worked with multiple early stage startups, I have seen the design debts of not having a good design foundation for products.
