What I bring as a designer
Growth UX design
Data-driven acquisition and conversion flows that grow GMV, users, and retention.
Visual & design systems
Reusable components and visuals that scale globally with consistency and speed.
UX research
Studies and experiments that surface insights, validate ideas, and balance user clarity with business goals.
Vibe coding & prototyping
I turn designs into working, clickable prototypes with AI tools, so teams can test real interactions, not static mockups.
