UX Strategist
✅ Open to projects
✅ 50+ products shipped across SaaS, fintech, and consumer apps
✅ Led design system implementations for 10+ teams (component libraries, pattern documentation)

What I Do:
User experience design for web and mobile applications. I work on product strategy, user flows, interaction design, wireframing, visual design, and testing. I also build and maintain design systems that keep teams aligned as products scale.
Why Teams Hire Me:
I treat design as problem-solving, not decoration. I conduct user research to validate assumptions, iterate rapidly in Figma, and hand off documentation that developers actually use. I’m comfortable presenting work to stakeholders and defending design decisions with data. Fast turnaround, clear communication, and I ship work that performs.
Process:
Discovery and research → Information architecture → Prototyping → Iteration → Hand-off with specs
