Currently based in 📍 Cambridge, MA, I’m a Senior Product Designer with 4 years of experience shaping intuitive, business-aligned digital experiences across startups and enterprise teams.

I specialize in UX design, scalable design systems, and team workflows that improve speed, alignment, and product quality. I believe the best products are built by collaborative teams , and peers describe me as a reliable, value-adding team player. Partner closely with PMs and engineers to turn complex problems into usable, outcome-driven solutions.

Originally from Israel, I bring a systems mindset grounded in my earlier training and work as a
landscape designer, showing up in structure, clarity, and attention to human context.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at UX design meetups, attending music festivals and concerts, exploring contemporary art museums, hitting heavy bag workouts.

During my time as a Product Designer at KIDO Agency, I worked with both startups and corporate clients. I focused on building functional and scalable design systems that enhanced user experiences and improved designers' workflow efficiency. 

Additionally, I created and refined user flows and key product features to make interfaces more intuitive and engaging.



Collaborating closely with founders, PMs, and developers taught me valuable lessons in translating insights into actionable product improvements. 

Beyond hands-on design, I contributed to the growth and maturity of design processes by conducting audits, guiding with structured feedback, and leading workshops on Figma and design systems, helping teams mature and scale efficiently.
