Remote worker with 10+ years of experience - Last seen 23 days ago

With over a decade of experience in product design, I’ve had the privilege of shaping digital products that are both user-centered and strategically aligned with business goals. My career has taken me through a variety of environments—from fast-paced startups to established companies—where I've partnered with cross-functional teams to launch impactful, end-to-end design solutions that meet the unique challenges of B2B and B2C spaces.

Currently, as a Contract Designer, I collaborate with established companies like Sequoia Capital, focusing on 0-1 product launches. My role includes aligning UX with business growth objectives, refining product strategies with CPOs, and creating design solutions that drive customer acquisition and retention. I also help these startups stand out with visually compelling product pitches and investor materials.

As the Founding Designer at Kickplan, I’m focused on building scalable billing solutions that consolidate user needs into a single platform. My design strategy has enhanced team productivity by 5x and introduced a distinct brand language that improves user recognition and market differentiation.

Previously at Spendesk, a spend management platform, I led design efforts to streamline workflows and standardize processes, leading to a 25% increase in mobile adoption. I collaborated closely with product leadership to leverage user research insights, improving onboarding and boosting user engagement.

Some core strengths I bring to each role are:

• End-to-End Product Design: Delivering user-driven, pixel-perfect designs from ideation to launch.
• Scalable Design Systems: Creating cohesive design frameworks that improve development efficiency and brand consistency.
• Strategic Product Thinking: Ensuring design aligns with core business objectives to drive growth and user retention.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Working closely with product, marketing, and development teams to create impactful experiences.

I'm always looking to bring creativity and precision to innovative teams. I’m excited to connect with like-minded professionals and explore opportunities to create lasting impact. Let’s connect!
