About

Professional summary

I am a UI/UX-led Product Designer and Product Manager with 4+ years of experience designing, validating, and shipping user-centered digital products across fintech, edtech, healthtech, agri-tech, and nonprofit platforms.

I specialize in end-to-end UX work, including research, information architecture, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. I focus on creating accessible, responsive, and scalable experiences that support both user needs and business goals.

I have worked closely with engineering and business teams in remote environments, helping translate product ideas into clear requirements, prioritized roadmaps, and practical design solutions. I am comfortable leading product discovery, writing PRDs, and aligning stakeholders around user problems and measurable outcomes.

My design process is grounded in collaboration and iteration. I use tools such as Figma, FigJam, Miro, Framer, and Adobe XD to build design systems, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity interfaces that reduce risk and improve handoff efficiency.

I have contributed to products in banking, learning, emergency response, and nonprofit spaces, including dashboard and mobile app experiences. In these roles, I have helped improve usability, reduce bounce rates, and support long-term product scalability through reusable components and strong UI standards.

I also bring strong front-end literacy in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which helps me design with implementation feasibility in mind. I enjoy working in cross-functional, agile teams and mentoring other designers while contributing to hiring and design critique processes.

I am open to remote opportunities where I can continue building thoughtful digital products and driving meaningful user and business impact.
