Through my work, I combine in-depth primary research and engage with different stakeholders to create user friendly designs. My knowledge in multidisciplinary design has proven to be a catalyst for solving complex problems concisely and creatively.
At AlphaSights, I was a Senior Product Designer responsible for building and launching the research platform from the ground up. Since then, I’ve led design efforts across three product pods, collaborating closely with 4 product managers and 15 engineers across London, New York, and Portugal to deliver impactful, end-to-end solutions.
I’m currently working as a freelance designer and illustrator, focusing on expanding my portfolio with client projects and self-initiated work that reflect my design thinking and visual storytelling skills.
