I'm a Design Director with 6+ years of experience shaping products across fintech, crypto, and emerging tech. I’ve led design efforts in early-stage Web3 startups and built everything from scratch — product logic, user flows, visual identity, design systems, and even pitch decks for top-tier investors. My work has directly impacted business metrics, including user retention and support load.
I'm looking for a fully remote, high-impact role with a forward-thinking Web3 or fintech team — ideally a startup where design has a strategic role, not just a visual one. My goal is to bring clarity, usability, and product value to complex systems — and to keep building the future, one great interface at a time.
I’m fully open to relocation and happy to adapt to any timezone when needed.
