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.
