A key part of my work involves contributing to Design System governance and evolution, ensuring scalability and consistency across multiple squads and mobile banking experiences.
I also actively participate in product discovery, UX audits, and continuous improvement initiatives to optimize key user flows and align user needs with business outcomes.

  • Mobile UX/UI design for complex digital products
  • Design system governance, scaling, and consistency
  • Accessibility and inclusive design (WCAG)
  • End-to-end user journey design & optimization
  • Figma (component libraries, prototyping, collaboration)
