About

Senior Product Designer with 8+ years of experience designing complex digital products across FinTech, banking, payments, B2B SaaS, AI powered products, and marketplace platforms. I work across product strategy, user research, regulatory UX, design systems, and AI assisted workflows. I design for environments shaped by risk, regulation, technical constraints, and data dense decisions, where clarity, accuracy, and trust are essential. My role is to turn complexity into experiences that feel more usable, scalable, and reliable. I use continuous discovery to frame problems, validate assumptions early through functional prototypes, and connect strategic intent to execution. I have worked closely with Risk, Compliance, Data, Product, and Engineering teams to make complex decisions visible, actionable, and easier to align around. I have led end to end design in remote and distributed teams where autonomy, documentation, and strong artifacts are essential, helping teams stay aligned from discovery to delivery across functions and time zones.
