About

Senior Product Designer with 5 years of experience across B2C, B2B2C, and B2B products, with core expertise in B2C and FinTech. I take products from exploring hypotheses through launch and measuring outcomes. I introduce design systems and AI tools across multiple teams and products. I’m most energized by challenges where no one knows the right answer yet.

Balance Platform

SeniorFull-timeRemote

Own product design for 4 products serving 5 partner banks: CRM workflows and lending pipelines, portals for participants in leasing processes, calculators, and a modular platform built on a microfrontend architecture.

  • Advance AI-assisted Product Design: created Markdown guides that enable analysts and leads to assemble prototypes from the design system for early scenario validation and client discussions. The design system and guides are used by 5 teams. I use AI in Design QA and Design Review to verify implementation quality and interface consistency.
  • Initiated the move to a shared design system and unified interface standards for modular products and microfrontends.
  • Own initiatives end to end: analyze processes and employees’ real-world workflows, conduct contextual interviews and observations, formulate and validate hypotheses, design information architecture, User Flows, prototypes, and interfaces, and support implementation.
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, analysts, engineers, QA, leads, and clients, taking ownership of UX decisions.

Bumpin is a mobile B2C and B2B2C product for meeting people, socializing, and networking in real-world venues.

  • Owned end-to-end design for core B2C and B2B2C flows: partnered with the Product Manager and business stakeholders on the product roadmap and prioritization, worked with product metrics, research, and hypotheses, and carried solutions from User Flows and prototypes through launch.
  • Using product analytics, defined the map-first strategy and designed a new navigation model. A comparative test of two prototypes with 48 participants reduced completion time for key scenarios from 1:29 to 0:59 and increased Completion Rate from 81% to 95%.
  • After the map-first redesign launched, D7 Retention increased from 14.6% to 24%, DAU/MAU from 16% to 22%, and conversion to the first interaction from 18% to 37%.
  • Analyzed the registration funnel and session recordings, then redesigned authentication, conversational onboarding, and contextual permission requests. Registration completion increased from 62.15% to 78.4%, while completion time decreased from 3:42 to 2:18.
  • Based on more than 60 requests and 5 interviews with venue representatives, designed a partner profile and tools for content, event, and analytics management. After launch, 87% of partners renewed their placement, 70% reported increased audience interest, and 12 additional partners joined after the update.
  • Prepared design documentation and specifications, contributed to the design system, and conducted Design QA after handoff to engineering.
