• Banking Product Design

    Senior UX and UI for fintech and banking: complex financial workflows, native mobile products, interaction and motion, and clear UX writing that holds up under regulation and real customer use.

  • Design Leadership

    I build and lead design teams, own design systems that scale across banking platforms, align with product owners and management on priorities, and set a quality bar that outlasts my time on the team.

  • Product Building

    I ship beyond Figma: design-to-code workflows, tokens, specs, and QA-ready handoff so engineering builds accurately. Since March 2026 I have been on an intentional career break, building with AI-assisted tools like Cursor and shipping real interfaces instead of static prototypes.
