SUMMARY
Senior Product Designer with 15+ years of experience across fintech, proptech, SaaS, and AI-enabled products. I design complex digital systems — mobile wallets, financial platforms, B2B dashboards, admin tools, and conversational AI flows — from early discovery to production.
I combine strong product thinking, design systems expertise, and cross-functional collaboration with AI-assisted workflows to move faster, reduce friction, and ship scalable, human-centered products.
