Senior Product Designer

I’m an Australian product designer based in Lisbon with 3+ years building consumer crypto experiences on Solana. Most recently, I worked with Torque Protocol (during private beta) on token-reward distribution flows and campaign-management tooling for DeFi teams, shipping quickly without sacrificing design quality. I delivered clear connect-and-sign patterns, robust eligibility states, and UX calibrated to different technical aptitudes across complex user roles. Previously at Truffle, Metaplex Studios, and Holaplex, I focused on NFT collection management and marketplace experiences.
