About this service

Summary

I’m a Design Lead and Product Designer with 9+ years of experience delivering user-centered digital solutions for startups, agencies, and global brands. I specialize in leading teams through scalable design systems, intuitive UX/UI, and high-fidelity prototypes that balance business goals with user needs.

Process

The process starts with Discovery & Strategy, where I collaborate with stakeholders to define product goals, user needs, and a scalable design vision. This leads to Team Alignment & Roadmapping, where I develop a clear roadmap, aligning cross-functional teams on design priorities and deliverables.
Next, I guide the team through UX/UI Design & Prototyping, ensuring design systems are scalable and user flows are intuitive. We enter Feedback & Iteration, refining designs based on team and stakeholder input.
Finally, in Developer Handoff & Support, I provide detailed design specs, organized files, and remain involved through implementation to ensure design quality is maintained.
