7+ Years of Designing for the Future

I've spent the last seven years working with early-stage startups and high-growth teams, specializing in Fintech, Web3, and Enterprise SaaS. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work alongside Product Managers and Engineers to create design systems that grow with the company—reducing design debt and speeding up the shipping cycle.

My approach combines strong design fundamentals with modern workflows. I've earned certifications in Software Development, AI Essentials, and Venture Founding from ALX, giving me a deeper understanding of technical constraints and business strategy.

Beyond Figma: I use Tailwind, Shadcn, and ANT Design for scalable component systems. I also work with Webflow, WordPress, Bubble, Adobe Illustrator, Capture One, and DaVinci Resolve. When I'm not designing, I'm experimenting with AI website builders for rapid prototyping.

MY FRAMEWORK

The Path to Building Winning Products

A structured process with predictable outcomes and measurable impact.

1

Alignment & Strategy

We start with the Why. I dive into your business goals, user pain points, and market positioning to ensure we're building the right solution from day one.

2

User-Centric Architecture

Through UX research and wireframing, I map out frictionless user journeys. I solve the "logic puzzles" of SaaS and Fintech before a single pixel is colored.

3

High-Fidelity Design Systems

I build scalable UI kits and design systems in Figma. This ensures brand consistency and allows your engineering team to move 2x faster during development.

4

Handoff & Launch Support

I don't just "send a link." I provide documented handoffs, asset exports, and developer walkthroughs to ensure the final product looks and feels exactly as intended.
