About, Mao Ratha

Hands-On Product Craft
I take a direct, hands-on lead across UI, UX, motion, and visual design, from ambiguous requirements to final product detail that ships to the highest standard.
Design Systems at Scale
I build and maintain design systems that scale across fintech and banking platforms, are easy to implement, and keep products consistent with the brand.
Cross-Functional Delivery
I partner with product, engineering, and QA so requirements, prototypes, and decisions translate cleanly into accurate builds from handoff through release.
