Giving effective feedback

Designed multiple crucial features for the US market like Cash Deposit and Remote Check Deposit and helped the Product Managers with the go-to-market strategy for both features. I worked with the larger N26 design team in Europe and oversaw and gave feedback on euro centric features and topics

Designed the end-to-end core web application for the company and the analysis features from ideation to launch. Owned the Accessibility initiative for the product and helped build our design system. Designed and launched the new Remesh brand in my first 5 months at the company. Raising the appeal of the brand from a 4/10 to 8.5/10 with clients and employees. Led the partnership with UN’s Yemen and Libya peacekeeping missions

Led and developed new features and 2 products from rough ideas to being used by 60k teachers in the classroom. Quill experienced a growth to 750k students while I was there and Quill Lessons increased retention and usage during class time, reaching 18k sessions per day

As part of the design team at Skipper, I created the brand style guide and re-designed the user interface in 4 months prior to the launch of the new brand. I monitored 50,000+ user data points, sessions and actions using Mixpanel, Fullstory and Google Analytics to optimize conversions. I was also in charge of creating marketing materials and social media posts and supervised 2 graphic design interns for 4 months.

At Tobly, I designed the brand identity, UI/UX for Tobly and created wireframes/designs for the website/user onboard. I also conducted UI/UX research with clients and potential customers to create user journey/persona.

I created a font for Jetaport that has all the symbols, icons that we needed for the different amenities and statuses of trips. I created the icons in Adobe Illustrator then converted them into a font. I also designed other UI elements that were used as part of the product.

I created ad campaigns for companies like Coca Cola, John Deere and Acura in publishers like People, Vanity Fair and ET. I also designed marketing materials and email campaigns for clients.

At IrisVR, I held multiple roles in a small startup. I developed cross platform Virtual Reality demos and designed the brand identity and UI/UX for IrisVR beta product. I developed business relations with new clients and reached over 1000 signups in 4 months of beta product release.
