Summary

Senior Product Designer with 6 years of experience designing end-to-end B2B SaaS and enterprise products that balance user needs with business outcomes. I specialise in translating complex technical systems into intuitive, scalable solutions for both technical and non-technical users.

My approach combines discovery, research, and systems thinking with hands-on UX/UI execution and close collaboration with cross-functional teams. I've led full design lifecycles from discovery through delivery, built design systems that scale across products, and delivered measurable improvements in user efficiency and business metrics through data-informed iteration.

My technical background helps me work effectively with engineering teams, understand front-end constraints, and navigate the balance between customer desirability and technical feasibility. I'm looking for a role where I can apply strategic design thinking to complex problem domains whilst contributing to meaningful outcomes in a collaborative, customer-focused environment.
