As Sr. Designer at Airtm, I’m currently central to realizing our mission: to simplify how freelancers, entrepreneurs, creators, and remote workers manage and get paid in USD without relying on restrictive local banks.

I lead the design strategy for the Payments and Customer Delight pods, with a critical focus on improving the experience during onboarding and transactions within the app. I ensure the core processes—receiving, sending, converting, and withdrawing money—are as simple and intuitive as possible from anywhere in the world.


By eliminating friction and designing highly usable interfaces for new users and complex transactions, I’m actively transforming our platform into a reliable, fast, and empowering financial tool. This ongoing work highlights my ability to drive design strategy for a complex fintech product, directly impacting the financial freedom of a global user base.
