Product Designer with more 
than a decade of hard work in startups and large orgs.

My career began in the early ‘10s, transitioning from development to design. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with Toshiba, Samsung, JLL, Huawei, Royal Caribbean, C3.ai, Universal, Sotheby’s, and many others—helping them elevate their digital presence through kick-ass design and strategy.

I developed a fully functional desktop and mobile platform that seamlessly integrated with the brand’s identity. The challenge was to ensure the site remained intuitive and visually works for first-time users.
I collaborated closely with stakeholders to ensure the product aligned with business goals, while working hand-in-hand with developers, designers, the head of product, and founders. My contributions were instrumental in shaping the early stages of the startup, helping to develop a product that resonates with users and stands out in the market.

Impact Theory is a mission-driven modern media company designed to create positive change in people’s lives through the relentless creation of entertaining and empowering content. 

Impact Theory had one major global problem—lack of consistency. 
Many people worked on it before me, each adding something new without considering what came before. It’s total mess without proper design language that easialy could connects dots between projects.

My goal was to transform everything into a dynamic system—an living organism that seamlessly connects across all the projects that includes funnels, marketing and print materials and landing pages.



Impact
By redesigning the entire platform, establishing a new design language, and updating all marketing pages, I’ve managed to double the mobile traffic and received positive feedback from the users who actively use Impact Theory as their day-to-day inspiration hub.
