PROFILE
Product Designer with 11+ years in digital design and 8+ years in UX/UI. I lead products from problem
framing and user flows to interface design, implementation, testing, and launch. My advantage is combining
product thinking, design systems, AI-assisted workflows, and hands-on delivery across SaaS, web, iOS,
macOS, and Atlassian Marketplace products.
