About

I'm a Senior Brand Designer with 10+ years of experience, now focusing on expanding my skills into UI and product design. I've worked extensively within and with product teams, using Figma to design intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and prototypes that enhance customer engagement.

With a strong background in brand design, I excel in working with design systems, creating style guides, and product marketing assets that maintain brand consistency across all platforms. My goal is to leverage my branding expertise and growing UI skills to contribute to product-focused roles, where I can help craft seamless user experiences. Currently seeking long-term roles or contracts as I continue my journey into UI and product design.
