Welcome to my corner on the web.
I am a Designer with over 10 years of experience who strives to achieve the perfect balance between meeting people's needs and achieving business goals.
Currently, I'm making payments, banking and finance simpler than ever at Tamara.
Previously, I worked at big tech companies like Meta, Booking.com, Helium Health among others, solving business and people problems in ecommerce, travel and healthcare.
During my spare time, I collaborate with founders and startups to bring their innovative ideas to life and providing guidance on improving existing product experiences.

Other stuff I've designed
2020 - 2024
I believe design shapes the world, from the pavements on streets we walk on to the MRI machines that aid our health. As designers, we have the power to define a better future, and this drives me to explore beyond screens and pursue my creative curiosities. Here’s some of what I’ve created.
Consulting
I offer consulting services to founders looking to launch a new product, established businesses seeking to improve an existing product, or startups seeking to build a solid design foundation. My expertise are in the following areas:
Product Design
• Launch new idea
• UI/UX design
• Design strategy
I'm excited about opportunities to collaborate with visionary founders who are seeking to bring their ideas to life or transform their existing product offerings.
I specialize in guiding you and your team through the process of identifying opportunities, designing your product from the ground up, and providing expertise in research, design sprint facilitation, user experience, interface design, and design strategy.
Design Audit
• Product assessment
• Usability evaluation
• Design improvement recommendations
If you're seeking to enhance your product's performance and achieve specific business metrics, a design audit is an excellent starting point.
A design audit is a strategic evaluation and analysis of your product or website, aimed at uncovering flaws and identifying opportunities to enhance its usability, experience, and visual aesthetics.
This comprehensive assessment will help me to recommend potential ux tweaks, changes, and features updates that can take your product to the next level.
Advising
• Advisory services
• Design standards
• Design team building
I provide advisory services that are tailored for founders and startups seeking a long-term, collaborative approach to design within their organization.
If you're interested in establishing design standards, systems, building a design team, or improving your product experience, I can offer hands-on guidance and support to help you achieve your goals and objectives.
Personal Projects
My passion lies in leveraging the immense opportunity of the free web to make useful tools. I have been passionately honing my skills in the thrilling and dynamic frameworks of React and NextJs so that I can build even more better apps. Here are a few successful launches that I am proud of.

Writing
Writing allows me to express myself, learn, reflect, and share perspectives to build connections and understanding. I often write about design, product development, personal growth, and career experiences.

NanoUX – Steamlining Music Discovery On-The-Go. Spotify As A Case Study
Mar 25, 2024
NanoUX, Design
You are working from a cozy co-working space, soothed by some soul and jazz drifting through the speakers. As a melody fades out, you suddenly need to know the name of the song. You fumble to Shazam it - scanning your Apple Watch icons or unlocking your phone to open the app. Just as you were about to ID the track, the next song starts. And even if you catch it, you realize you don't use Apple Music, and there's no obvious way to play the Shazamed song in Spotify. Sound familiar for any music lover?

Feb 1, 2024
NanoUX, Design
Gmail is probably the most used email service in the world with over 1 billion users. For most knowledge workers, email is a crucial part of our day. I personally receive at least 3 emails every day, and reply to at least 3 emails per week. But there's one friction point I encounter whenever I want to reply to an email on my phone - I prefer to do it on my computer instead. But why?
