With over 10 years of experience in the design industry, I have a proven track record of creating visually engaging and user-friendly interfaces for in-car navigation systems, SaaS apps, and marketing websites.

My background in business and economics gives me a unique perspective on how to design UX and UI that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, efficient, and user-friendly. I am passionate about solving complex problems, collaborating with diverse teams, and learning new skills. I am also Adwords Search Certified, which demonstrates my ability to optimize the online presence and performance of my clients. My goal is to help tech companies increase their revenue by improving the user experience of their products.

Design myth: The client is always right.

Everyone says "give them what they want".

In reality, this creates terrible work and miserable designers.

The truth?

You're the design expert. 
Act like it.

The harder truth?

Most clients don't know what they want visually. 
That's why they hired you.

The question is:

1. Do you want clients who respect your expertise? 
↳ Or clients who treat you like a order-taker?

2. Do you want to collaborate? 
↳ Or execute endless changes?

Unlimited revisions don't create better work.

They create worse work and burned out designers.

Hope this helps. ❤️

P.S. Do you push back on bad feedback?

Senior UI/UX Product Designer | UX Strategy | Figma

Loading states matter.

Blank screen = user thinks it's broken.

Progress bar = user knows how long.
Spinner = user knows something's happening.
Skeleton screen = user sees structure forming.
Instant feedback = user doesn't notice the wait.
Steps = user knows where they are ("Step 2 of 4").
Active waiting = user is entertained while waiting (tips, facts).

Never leave users guessing.

Show them the system is working.
Even if it takes time, show progress.

I have worked with renowned companies worldwide.

Here's what I learned about client relationships:

Most designers get this wrong.

They think great work speaks for itself. It doesn't. 
Great client relationships do.

3 things that changed everything:

1. Communicate before they ask
↳ Clients don't want surprises
↳ A quick update beats a perfect presentation
↳ Silence creates anxiety, not anticipation

2. Sell the transformation, not the deliverable
Before: "I'll design your new website"
After: "I'll help you convert 3x more visitors into paying customers"
↳ They're not buying pixels
↳ They're buying outcomes

3. Make saying yes easy
↳ Clear pricing
↳ Clear timeline
↳ Clear next step

Every friction point is a chance for them to say "let me think about it."

The best project I ever landed wasn't because of my portfolio.
It was because a past client told someone: "Working with them was effortless."

That's the real deliverable.

P.S. What's your biggest challenge working with clients right now?

Repost this free value for others ♻️ Thank you!

P.S. Hey, which one (1-17) do you like most?

I've seen 21 different design job titles in 2025.

But not because companies are innovating roles.

The industry is simply "inventing" new titles and actively confusing what designers actually do.
(Even "small" startups will do this)

Here's why this is confusing:

1. Job descriptions rarely match the actual role
2. Same work gets different titles across companies
3. Designers don't know how to position themselves
4. Hiring becomes harder when no one agrees on titles

(I know designers who've had 5 different titles doing identical work)

"Design Strategist" doing UI mockups. 
"UI Designer" doing product strategy. 
"UX/UI Designer" doing both, neither, or something else entirely.

This is all to say:

If you're confused about what to call yourself, it's not you. It's the industry. Less worry, more focus on skills. Ok?

The design world (still) needs you. ❤️ (Repost this further ♻️)

P.S. Have you had multiple titles while doing the same work?

If there's one thing I'd eliminate in UX design...

It's birthday pickers like this. You know the ones:

1. Scroll wheels flicking through 40+ years to find 1986
2. Calendar grids tapping "previous month" 480 times
3. Three separate dropdowns, praying the order is right

There's a much better way.

It's called "TIF = Text Input First". 
Rooted in real behavior.
Backed by research. 

TIF is simple:

1. Let users type their birthday
2. Auto-format date as they go
3. Offer a picker as backup only

Why it works:

People know their birthday by heart.
Typing takes 2 seconds.

Scrolling through a picker takes 15+ seconds of frustration.

Hope this helps! (Repost if so ♻️)

P.S. Anything worse than a scroll-wheel date picker?

Talks about #uiux, #webdesign, #uiuxdesign, #uxdesigner, and #productdesigner

Good UX is boring.

Users complete tasks without thinking.

They don't notice the design. They just finish.

Bad UX is memorable.
Users remember frustration. Confusion. Friction.

Stop trying to impress users.

The best interfaces are simple.

P.S. When was the last time you noticed good UX?

"Don't teach juniors everything. They'll take your job."

Really? I've been sharing everything for years.

Still getting referrals.
Still growing.

What I give away freely:

My honest career advice.
My tips that took years to learn.
My favorite resources and tools.
My lessons from past mistakes.
My time to answer their questions.

And guess what? 

This isn't even 5% of what I know. 

The juniors I helped? 

They remember. 
They recommend. 
They become peers.

Gatekeep if you want.

I'll keep building.

P.S. Tag a senior who helped you when you were starting out. 👇

Junior designers have a fear of asking "dumb" questions.

So let me respond to this right now:

Should I just Google this instead? No. 
Will asking slow down the project? No.
Should I already know this by now? No. 
Will this question make me look stupid? No.
Will senior designers judge me for asking? No.
Should I just pretend I understand? One big NO!

I'll be honest... 

"Creating safe spaces to ask" is my thing in design teams. But some of these fears take it too far.
Over the years, I've seen many brilliant designers hold back.

And as my seniority grew, so did my empathy.
(and so did my appreciation for good questions)

I get it, we're all in the business of "looking competent" here. 

But nobody should be afraid to learn.

You want to learn for free? Ask questions in critiques. 
You want personalized guidance? Hire a mentor.

As simple as that. ✌️

P.S. What's the "dumbest" question you've ever asked that turned out to be brilliant? (I know I'll probably regret asking this question LOL)

Design Update: You can create designs directly in code.

Not using Figma at all.

It feels like a superpower.

Yesterday, I "built" this interaction. And there were so few steps involved in bringing my idea to life, my developer friends got suspicious:

- No Figma files
- No handoff documents
- No "can we sync about the specs" meetings

"Just describe what you want", it said.

First I explained the micro-interaction I had in my head. 
And then Claude Code generated working code in under 1 MINUTE.

It was my first time designing without opening Figma but... I felt… free. ❤️

But you know what made it so special?

I skipped the mockup entirely. 
Went straight from brain to browser. 

I quote myself… "wait, that actually works?"

It gave me THE most responsive, production-ready component on the first try. 

So polished, I could ship it today.
It let me tweak every detail until it felt right. 

The interaction you see in this post is not a design prototype.

I seriously want to design like this forever.

To my fellow designer, keep experimenting, friends.

(Repost further ♻️)

P.S. Figma isn't dead. But designing directly in code? It's different. Ask me anything in the comments.

When you accept "every AI suggestion", you lose "UX quality".

Dear designer, ask yourself:

What matters more = shipping fast or shipping right? 
What drives user success (with AI-built components)?

Easy answer: Shipping right!

So....
Instead of always accepting "first AI output"...

You often miss obvious problems:

Focus on visual hierarchy → What grabs attention first
Focus on accessibility → Can everyone actually use this
Focus on user mental models → Will users understand this
Focus on interaction patterns → Does this work on all devices
Focus on edge cases → What happens when things go wrong

Don't lose focus.

AI assistance isn't about ACCEPTING everything. 
↳ It's about REVIEWING everything.

Your mission isn't to ship AI output raw. 
↳ It's to refine it with UX knowledge.

More review, please → Not more blind trust.

That... was the whole lesson 😉)

Share if you learned something! ♻️

P.S. Do you use AI to design? I'd love to chat.

Want better designs? Test more.

The data shows that:

1. 90% of issues found in first 5 tests
2. Testing early catches issues cheap
3. Your expertise grows with your testing
4. Stakeholders trust evidence over hunches
5. Patterns emerge fast (same 3 problems repeat)

The downside?

Takes time. 
Takes repetition.
Takes discipline. 

That's it.

Test → Learn → Ship better.

(Repost if valuable ♻️)

P.S. I used to run 10+ tests per project. Now, half. You?
