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

Senior Product DesignerFull-timeRemote

I am responsible for the product design of 4 products for 5 banking partners, including CRM workflows, loan origination platforms, leasing participant portals, financial calculators, and a modular platform built on a microfrontend architecture.

  • Develop an AI-assisted Product Design practice: created Markdown guides for early-stage prototyping based on the design system, now used by 5 teams; apply AI in Design Review and Design QA.
  • Initiated the transition to a shared design system and unified interface standards for modular products, and support their adoption across the product portfolio.
  • Own the full product design lifecycle—from researching business processes and user context to shaping and validating hypotheses, making UX decisions, and ensuring implementation quality.

Key products and projects:

  • CRM Collection: designed key workflows and interfaces, including an IP telephony module.
  • Leasing Participant Portals: developed role-based interfaces for dealers and lessors to submit and process applications.
  • KYC Portal: designed a batch document recognition workflow with predefined or custom recognition sets. Migrated the product to the shared design system.
  • Dealer Network CRM: designed a mobile version for tracking agreements, planning meetings, and monitoring performance. Also developed an AI assistant module tailored to different user roles.
  • Loan Origination Platform: developed the UX architecture of a flexible, modular product adaptable to different banking and product configurations. Designed several financial calculators within the platform, including a leasing calculator.
  • Agent Lending Platform: designed end-to-end loan and mortgage application journeys, as well as centralized agent network management with role-based access and organizational hierarchy.
  • Microfrontends: designed 6 reusable modules for integration across multiple products.

Just, Bumpin

Senior Product DesignerFull-timeRemote

Bumpin is a mobile B2C and B2B2C product for dating, social interaction, and networking in real-world locations.

  • Led the end-to-end product design of key B2C and B2B2C journeys—from problem discovery and hypothesis validation to launch and impact assessment.
  • Worked with product metrics and user research, contributing to roadmap development and feature prioritization.
  • Evolved the design system, prepared specifications and design documentation, and ensured implementation quality through Design Review and Design QA.

Key results and achievements:

  • Used product analytics to define a map-first strategy and redesign the navigation. Comparative testing of 2 prototypes with 48 participants reduced key journey completion time from 1:29 to 0:59 and increased Completion Rate from 81% to 95%.
  • Following the map-first redesign, D7 Retention increased from 14.6% to 24%, DAU/MAU from 16% to 22%, and first-interaction conversion from 18% to 37%.
  • Analyzed the registration funnel and user session recordings, then redesigned authentication, conversational onboarding, and contextual permission prompts. 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 partner profiles, content and event management, and analytics. After launch, 87% of partners renewed their placements, 70% reported increased audience interest, and 12 additional partners joined during the first month.
