About

I design interfaces where every interaction matters - especially for AI-powered tools and enterprise fintech products where trust and clarity are non-negotiable. Over 12 years, I've worked across banking systems, payment infrastructure, retirement platforms, and AI applications. I specialize in interaction design for complex workflows: the micro-interactions that guide decisions, the explainability patterns that build confidence, the error states that maintain trust. My approach is ruthless simplification. I cut noise, clarify intent, and design for the moment when a user needs to act. What I bring: • AI application design - explainability, progressive disclosure, confidence indicators • Interaction design and micro-interactions for complex enterprise products • Deep fintech and B2B SaaS experience across banking, payments, and regulated workflows • End-to-end product design from research through shipped products serving millions • Team leadership - I mentor designers and own design direction for enterprise clients Recent focus: Designing trust-building patterns for AI tools where users need to understand what's happening and why.
