BEHIND THE DESIGN
I design real solutions for real businesses.
I design real solutions for real businesses. Design isn't just what I do — it's how I think, solve problems, and deliver results. With hands-on experience in companies like Caterpillar, I’ve improved UX for complex B2B systems that manage thousands of machines worldwide. I've worked on optimizing core user flows, simplifying heavy interfaces, and building scalable UI libraries for enterprise tools.
I’ve also tackled mobile user flows for platforms like Uber Eats, focusing on checkout friction and micro-interactions to improve speed, clarity, and user confidence. On the conceptual side, I redesigned Duolingo's gamified learning interface to better balance motivation with usability.
Whether it’s helping a product team move faster, aligning business goals with design execution, or creating calm in a chaotic product, I bring both strategic thinking and strong execution to the table.
Let’s build something that actually works — not just looks good.
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE
User - first product design that drives growth.
Rapid Delivery
5+ Years of Real Projects
Focused on Results
QUESTIONS I GET ASKED
Real Insight. Real Value.
These are the questions I often get from founders, hiring managers, and other designers — so I decided to answer them here.

QUESTIONS I GET ASKED
Real Insight. Real Value.
These are the questions I often get from founders, hiring managers, and other designers — so I decided to answer them here.
Balancing UX & business?
I approach every project by aligning user needs with measurable business outcomes. For example, in my Uber Eats redesign, I simplified the order flow, which reduced friction for users, while also increasing completed checkouts. My method is to map user pain points directly to business KPIs — if the design improves both, it’s the right direction.
Beyond growth design?
Yes. Growth is important, but I also design for long-term trust and retention. At Duolingo, I worked on micro-interactions that boosted engagement without pushing aggressive upsells. My goal is always to create designs that scale sustainably — balancing short-term metrics with lasting user relationships.
What makes you different?
I focus on storytelling in design. I don’t just deliver screens; I build clear journeys that show how the design impacts users and the business. That’s why in my portfolio, every project is presented as a case study with numbers, user insights, and outcomes. Recruiters and teams can see exactly how my work adds value.
