Design process
I begin with research — user and stakeholder interviews, competitive analysis. I move through iterative prototyping and testing, from low-fidelity sketches to interactive prototypes, using AI to speed up ideation and analysis.
Product designer for Fintech tools
I design trading platforms and financial software — products where every interaction matters. Over 5 years in fintech, I've focused on making complex workflows more intuitive, ensuring designs meet compliance requirements.
I lead design initiatives end-to-end — from discovery and user research to high-fidelity prototypes and handoff.

About
I am a designer who puts people first — whether they are end-users or team members. My approach combines empathy with an iterative design process to create thoughtful and enjoyable user experiences.
I work with business analysts to understand requirements, engineers to ensure feasibility, and QA teams to catch edge cases early. This teamwork results in innovative solutions that align with both user needs and business objectives.
How I mentor
I focus on giving clear, practical advice to help my mentees succeed. I believe kindness is key to building trust and strong relationships. My goal is to support and empower my mentees, always putting their growth and well-being first.
