About

User-centric Product Designer with over 4 years of experience in both B2C and B2B markets. I excel in helping companies identify the right problems and deliver innovative solutions that significantly improve people’s lives through thoughtful design. At Cisco, I played a key role in reimagining the user experience for the Space Manager app, contributing to a 20% increase in user engagement and a pivotal $600K+ deal with AmEx, underscoring the tangible business impact of strategic design. Employed cognitive biases alongside design principles to enhance the user experience by 26% for EnableGST 2.0 App, a B2B product designed to assist clients in GST calculation and filing. Led the entire design process for Snag360, successfully launching both mobile and desktop applications, achieving a 62% Retention Rate and reducing the Churn Rate by 20% within just two months. I am a passionate advocate for UX Motion, committed to infusing designs with life through motion. My portfolio is a testament to my dedication to creating highly interactive prototypes, featuring meticulously thought-out motions and interactions from the outset of each project. I am eager for opportunities to leverage big data to uncover insights and identify patterns that create real human impact, driving innovation and enhancing user experiences in meaningful ways.
