Career history

Global UX/CX Manager | Product Design Strategy Coral Club

I lead design and UX strategy for a direct-sales e-commerce platform operating across 40 markets. I own product design strategy and product vision across the digital ecosystem while collaborating with VP-level stakeholders, product managers, transformation directors, and development teams.

I redesigned the registration flow, reducing completion time from three to five minutes to under one minute. I also redesigned the Back Office dashboard, reducing time to business insight from 15–30 minutes to under one minute, while aligning design direction with commercial KPIs and retention metrics.

Design Manager, Product Design Strategy Fiskars Group

I led design and UX strategy across multiple Fiskars-owned brands and managed a team of six. I was responsible for UX and design strategy across the brand portfolio and guided the creation of a multi-brand tokenized design system.

I reduced project timelines by 25% and improved project success rates by 30% through UX Strategy Mapping. I transitioned the design function from a supplier-based model to an in-house team, increasing delivery by 30% and reducing new-team-member time to productivity by 50% through structured onboarding.

Lead Product Designer Raiffeisen Bank Romania

I led the design of Romania's first fully digital customer onboarding, end-to-end digital lending, and Face ID transaction-signing experiences. My work included redesigning mobile banking, online banking, digital lending, digital onboarding, and Back Office products.

I introduced UX testing and usability testing as formal practices within the bank. I helped onboard initial clients in under 10 minutes, launched Romania's first end-to-end digital lending solution, advised senior stakeholders on product strategy and technology, and supported POCs and MVPs with cross-functional microservices teams.

UX/UI Lead Air Arabia LLC

I led UX and UI design for airline operations software, including Weight and Balance, crew management, customer booking, and agency booking systems. I worked on products supporting operational teams and airline customers.

I delivered a functional Weight and Balance MVP in six months using real data and zero code, improving load-controller workflows by 50% and replacing manual monitoring with automated alerts. I also redesigned the crew management solution, increasing crew adoption by 60%.

Founder & Expert Design Consultant Supraelastic

I founded Supraelastic and work part-time alongside full-time leadership roles as an expert design consultant. I have served global clients including 20th Century Fox, London Stock Exchange, QConferences, C4Media, and Fiskars Group.

I deliver conversion-focused UX and product design work for e-commerce brands. I achieved a 50% increase in sales conversion through product-detail-page redesigns, grew Pentruanimale.ro from EUR 1 million to EUR 5 million in revenue, and delivered up to a 5% conversion uplift through A/B testing and analytics-driven UX iteration.
