This experience quickly accelerated my soft skills, particularly in aligning diverse teams and fully embracing the product strategy inherent in Product Design.Ultimately, I set a new benchmark for performance and execution within the design and product teams, embodying the impact of a senior and staff-level designer.

Demonstrated the impact and clout of the design function by regularly showcasing key projects and their business results at company all-hands and significant leadership meetings.
Developed numerous Figma plugins using Cursor to automate content creation for crypto applications and facilitate AI content design generation.
