About

Product designer with 5+ years building design systems, interfaces, and brands for early-stage startups. I’ve worked across fintech, content tools, and Web3, making complex things feel simple and intuitive. I’ve led design from scratch at 3 lean YC backed products like Nomod, Zywa & Union 54 defining everything from design systems to onboarding flows that shifted real user behavior. At Nomod, I helped revamp KYC and onboarding, increasing sign-up and completion rates by 30%. At Zywa and Union54, I designed interfaces that scaled from 0 to 30,000 and 14,000 users respectively. I’ve shaped visual identity, built components across web and mobile, and worked closely with founders, engineers, and PMs to ship fast. I constantly push legacy minded leaderships towards new and experimental workflows by leveraging AI even the toughest ones to convince. On the side, I’ve been building products with friends — including a project management tool powered by agentic workflows, and a government contract platform using AI to help teams win bids faster. Still early, but exciting stuff. What excites me about product design is the chance to work on something technical and creative at the same time. Helping invent new patterns, and shaping brand and product as one. That’s the kind of design culture I want to help build and be a part of. Would love to chat and see if there’s a fit. Design tools i use: Figma, Subframe, Stitch, Spline, Blender, V0, Cursor & lovable. Favourite product designs: Lovable, Cred, Elevenlabs, Revolut
