Experienced Product Designer and UI/UX Specialist
Hey! I'm a digital Product Designer. I specialize in blending psychology, visual design, and motion to create delightful experiences that convert. I've worked as a UX designer at Conversion, an A/B testing company, where I designed and executed hundreds of A/B tests aimed at increasing sign-ups, purchases, and optimizing key performance indicators (KPIs). I had the highest win rate (56%) among the designers for my tests. I've also lead research, design, and testing for the AI Squad at Vidsy, including an AI-powered concept generator, brief builder, and inspiration curator tool.
