About

I’m a Product Designer with over a decade of experience in UX/UI and Design Systems. Throughout my career, I’ve led design teams and mentored juniors, solved real-world problems, and tackled complex challenges for global clients such as Santander UK, Mindpath, Hoopit AI, FourTwoThree, etc. And yes, I’m still deep in UX/UI and Figma, that’s the fun part. What started as building small websites and templates for fun in 2015 turned into a 10-year journey in UX/UI and Product Design. During that time, I became a ThemeForest Author, reaching over 730 happy clients with my website templates. I’ve also been recognized by Awwwards with an Honorable Mention award, and the author of “The Product Designer’s Mind” book. Here’s what I bring to the table: -Deep UX/UI Design expertise, with a strong focus on scalable Design Systems and complete Product Design solutions. -B2B, B2C, and SaaS, cross-functional teamwork and feedback culture. -AI driven approach, implementing modern AI workflows powered by the latest AI tools and vibe coding.
