Professional Summary

I’m a Lead Product Designer focused on building clear, scalable digital product experiences for SaaS and B2B platforms. Designed end-to-end—from problem discovery and UX strategy to UI design, prototyping, and developer handoff.


Created token-based Design Systems and efficient design workflows that improve product delivery speed while keeping usability and consistency strong. My approach combines UX clarity, product thinking, and strong execution with clean interface design.


With 10+ years of multidisciplinary design experience, I’ve worked across product design, UX/UI, industrial design, and 3D technologies. This background helps me connect system-level thinking with practical product impact. *Detailed portfolio will be sent upon request
