## Headline

Senior Product Designer \(UX\) • Influencing 0→1 Product Strategy, Research & Platform Systems • Fintech, SaaS & GenAI

## About

Over the last 6 years, I've designed products across fintech, SaaS, telecom and enterprise software, partnering with product managers, engineers and business teams to turn ambiguity into experiences people can actually understand and use\. Today, I work on DSP's investment ecosystem, helping shape products where trust, clarity and good decision\-making matter just as much as good UX\. I enjoy working on products that are a little messy\. The kind where users are confused, teams have different opinions, data tells one story, research tells another, and the solution isn't another screen, it's figuring out what the product should actually do\. Lately I've been spending more time exploring platform thinking, AI\-assisted experiences, and how product strategy and design can work together to solve bigger problems\. Always happy to connect with people who enjoy building thoughtful products\.
