About

I design products where complexity disappears and decisions become easier for users. With 14+ years of experience and a Master’s in Psychology, I work at the intersection of user behavior, product design, and AI. I focus on simplifying complex systems, especially in fintech and blockchain, where clarity directly impacts trust and outcomes. Previously, I led Product Design at BlocksOne, where I shaped UX for platforms used by over 1M+ users. My work goes beyond screens - it focuses on helping users make better decisions with less effort. I also actively use AI in my design process to speed up research, explore multiple directions, and move faster from ideas to validated solutions. I created the SAGA Framework (Situation - Assumption - Ground Reality - Action) to bring structure to ambiguous problems and align teams across product, engineering, and design. Some outcomes from my work: Improved onboarding conversion by 35%+ by simplifying user journeys Increased retention by 40% through behavior-driven UX improvements Built scalable design systems to improve consistency and speed of delivery I believe design is not just how things look, but how they work, how they scale, and how they drive real business impact.
