I am a Senior Product Designer with over six years of experience leading end-to-end UX and UI design for large, complex digital products. I’ve delivered high-impact mobile and web platforms—including multiple flagship projects for the largest tech university in the world—while driving design systems, usability improvements, and cross-functional collaboration.
