Work Experience
05/2025 – 03/2026

Datapulse Technologies

Product Designer

Designed both in-house tools and client-facing fintech products, working day-to-day with the developers and product owner so what got shipped actually matched the designs. Most of my work was for fintech clients based in Cyprus, keeping the interfaces clear and consistent as the product range grew.

01/2025 – 05/2025

CodeKnitters

iOS App Designer

Handled UI/UX across several iOS apps, designing to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. I ran user interviews and usability sessions to find where people were getting stuck, then reworked the navigation and flows around what came up. The navigation redesign noticeably improved how long people stayed in the app.

Web Designer

Worked with 12+ clients across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce, taking projects from wireframes through high-fidelity mockups and prototypes. Everything was built mobile-first, and the work was specific to each client rather than reused templates.
