UX/UI Designer with 2+ years crafting product experiences: from zero-to-one SaaS to enterprise design systems. I think in systems, move in iterations, and care about the details that make users feel capable.

I design the experience, then the system.

I’m a UX/UI designer who came up through product teams where design decisions had to be defensible, scalable, and shipped. I learned early that good design is less about screens and more about the thinking behind them.

Over two years, I’ve worked across building an ERP Product, often in the uncomfortable space between a vague business problem and a blank Figma file. I use AI tools not as a shortcut but as a collaborator: for rapid research synthesis, variant generation, and closing the gap between design intent and code output.

What drives me: the moment a system clicks together. When the component you built in sprint two becomes the foundation another team uses six months later. When an onboarding flow that took three months to get right reduces a user’s anxiety in their first forty seconds.

The Name Was Already the Argument. Nothing in the Brand Was Using It.

A full identity and website redesign for a B2B marketing agency, built on the one asset it already owned and never used: its name. Sales plus marketing, made visual as two overlapping circles resolving into an S, then carried across a palette, a homepage, and an eight-page brochure.
