2019 - Present
I work directly in product team to enhance user interface and experience for over 17 million active users across the website and mobile apps. My responsibilities include interface design, prototyping, and mentoring junior designers. I’ve led key projects like redesigning the cart and express checkout, restructuring the mobile app's navigation, and introducing dark mode, all while ensuring a consistent, scalable design system across platforms.
I focused on improving Old Mutual’s digital customer experience within the fintech space. I led efforts in product design, responsive web design, and systems thinking to address user pain points. A key project was streamlining the account opening process by introducing a goals-based system, enabling users to easily navigate and select the best financial products from hundreds of options.
As part of the digital creative team, I worked on web platform builds, digital campaigns, and content production for major brands like Puma, KFC, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, and Audi. My role involved digital art direction, mobile web and app development, and conceptualizing advertising campaigns. A standout project was the "Be the Couch" campaign, where I created a web platform that engaged users in live football substitutions, driving 10.5 million votes and generating over $12.2 million in PR.
More about me
More about me
When I'm not busy pushing pixels or trying to figure out why users won't close pop-ups, you can catch me outdoors, listening to podcasts about the latest and greatest tech. As a natural problem solver, I love spending time on puzzles, crushing people at chess, completing Rubik's cubes and playing board games with my friends. In addition, I'm a fitness enthusiast who enjoys running, gyming & hiking.
Travelling has always been a passion of mine, and I find great joy in learning about the world and all its diversity. I'm also a bit of a photography buff, and I love capturing moments and memories through the lens of my camera.
