About

I'm a UX designer with 8 years of expertise in leading the UX process for diverse digital products — B2B, B2C, and D2C for SaaS products, websites, mobile apps, etc. I enjoy the iterative design process from discovery to delivery and love to work closely with people to understand the problems and expectations of both users and businesses. I believe that domain understanding plays an important role and I follow a system-thinking approach to understand & visualize the bigger picture to find the key touchpoints. #empathize #iterate #test #learn #disrupt
