Enior Ux/Ui Designer | Figma Expert | Advanced Interface & User Experience Design | User Centered Design | Digital Product Strategy

Designing intuitive, user-first experiences is what I love to do. Over the past 3 to 4 years, I’ve worked on everything from SaaS platform redesigns to websites that helped boost sales — always with a strong focus on real user needs. I grew from junior to senior designer in just 2 years by staying curious, hands-on, and collaborative. Whether it’s digging into research, refining flows, or working side-by-side with developers, I’m a crypto enthusiast who's all about turning ideas into useful, well-crafted products. Always learning, always improving — and always putting users first.
