PROUD TO HAVE DESIGNED FOR:
Head of Product Design
@
Leading Product Design in an AI company is an interesting challenge. It requires balancing many layers at once: building and supporting a design team, shaping product strategy, staying close to the craft, and continuously adapting to technologies that are changing faster than any design methodology ever has.
At ThinkUp, I found myself working at the intersection of people, product, and AI. While leading the Product Design team, I continue to work hands-on with product managers and engineers, helping shape experiences that make complex technologies useful, approachable, and valuable for the people who use them.
CURRENTLY WEARING THESE HATS:
Design Mentor
@Startup Designers Community
@WE Community
I have been working in the industry for more than 17 years and have decided that it is time for me to give back. As a mentor, I assist designers at various stages of their careers. This includes helping those who are just starting out and building their first portfolio, as well as design managers who are looking to build their vision, set goals, and lead a team within an organization.
I truly enjoy getting to know people, providing a supportive environment for growth, being there for them during challenges, and believing in them, even more than they believe in themselves. It brings me great joy to see them succeed and rise up.
Design Thinking Facilitator
Certificated by Discovers
Over the past few years, I have been exploring and implementing design thinking methodologies in my design work and sharing them with others in my organization. By adopting a design-oriented mindset, we can improve how we create products, services, processes, and strategies by considering human needs, technological feasibility, and economic viability. Additionally, design thinking techniques can be used by individuals without a design background to solve complex problems.
As a certificated design thinking facilitator, by Discovers Academy, I am excited to continue sharing these skills and tools with other companies and organizations.
Product Designer
With over 17 years of experience in the field, I've honed my skills as a product designer by crafting intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. My approach combines deep user empathy with strategic thinking to create products that not only meet user needs but also drive business goals. I believe in the power of design to solve complex problems and enhance people's lives through thoughtful, innovative solutions.
Throughout my career, I've worked on a diverse range of projects, from B2C applications to complex B2B SaaS platforms. This variety has equipped me with a versatile skill set and the ability to adapt to different industries and user bases. I'm passionate about the entire product design process - from initial research and ideation to prototyping, testing, and iterating based on user feedback. My goal is always to create products that are not just visually appealing, but also highly functional and truly impactful.
