I am a Protagonist by nature and a Product Designer by profession
I specialise in B2B and SaaS product design, with experience in business, design, and innovation across diverse industries.
I have led a design team, Where we designed a Cloud Operations Services Platform for REAN Cloud, currently working as a Principal Product Designer at Amdocs, they build software and services for communication, media, and financial services providers.
My role involves cross-functional collaboration with leadership across design, product management, content strategy, engineering, and marketing.
A team player, I always acted as a captain to help the team grow and go toward common goals. A Design thinking enthusiast, my open minds and creative skills come from my culture and my experiences.
Every single background of my experience is part of a bigger picture today. The know-how I learned in diverse fields can be employed interchangeably.
