Jan 2025 - now
- Built Figma components for a design system with documented states, spacing, and typography; checked long labels and validation errors so teams could reuse the component without inventing missing behavior.
- Reviewed interaction design and accessibility with keyboard-only navigation, visible focus, and error announcements; paired with engineering to fix differences between Figma specifications and rendered components.
- Defined Figma component variants for loading, empty and error states, checked contrast and keyboard focus, and compared the implemented screens against the design specification.
- Built an interactive prototype for connected-device setup, tested pairing failures and recovery prompts with users, and revised the interaction sequence before the companion-app implementation.
- Designed a layout review using usability tasks and brand-identity constraints, resolved inconsistent interactive states and completed an annotated accessibility handoff.
- Built a high-fidelity prototype and interactive demo of a device recovery flow, mapped each screen to its changing requirements, and tested interrupted setup and voice-interaction feedback before handing the specification to software development.
- Owned a high-fidelity prototype using React Native interaction tests, resolved ambiguous voice-interaction states and completed an engineering handoff with explicit requirements.
- Published interactive demos using consistent visual tokens, reduced implementation clarification requests by 27% and retained examples of loading, error and cancellation behavior.

UI Designer
Jan 2019 - Dec 2024
- Created visual QA checkpoints for 9 feature teams before release. Kept the improvement stable through the follow-up review.
- Annotated the delivered design with spacing, type and interaction decisions, reviewed the first implementation with engineering, and corrected differences that affected comprehension or accessibility.
- Tested a revised layout with realistic long text, empty content and error states, annotated the places where the hierarchy broke down, and adjusted labels and spacing while preserving the established design system.
Selected project
UI Designer — independent case study
Project owner
Feb 2024 - Jun 2024
- Rebuilt color tokens against rendered contrast and semantic use
- Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
- Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
- Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.
