Ohpen
Product Designer @Ohpen
As a Product Designer, I lead the design of a mortgage case management portal within a small, distributed design team. I build and maintain the design system from the ground up, including a multi-tier token architecture and documentation written for both designers and developers. My work spans UX audits, research sessions with real users, and connecting design decisions to product analytics. I also help establish design QA processes and position design as a strategic, upstream partner across the organization.

Creative Director & Design Mentor @Skyro
As a creative director and design mentor at Skyro, a secondary school focused on IT and artificial intelligence, I lead the school's brand and marketing communication while teaching UX/UI design to two groups of students. I built the school's visual identity from the ground up, developed campaigns for student recruitment, and guided students through hands-on product design projects that connect education with real industry practice.

WEZEO
Design Lead @WEZEO
As a senior designer, I'm leading UX/UI design from discovery to launch, shaping user experiences and product strategy across fintech, medtech, and telco projects. I'm working closely with stakeholders to align business goals with user needs, using research, prototyping, and data insights to create clear and consistent digital products.

Freelancer
UI/UX Designer
As an aspiring designer, I focused on learning the basics of UX and visual design while taking on my first small projects for friends, local initiatives, and freelance platforms. These early experiences helped me develop a practical understanding of design tools, workflows, and collaboration with real clients.

IBM
Account Analyst @IBM
Started as a data-driven Account Analyst and later moved into the creative side through a marketing internship. I created visual materials for internal campaigns, from flyers and illustrations to simple animations, and helped maintain intranet pages to improve internal communication and branding. This role combined analytics with design, allowing me to work across both strategic and creative tasks.
Richard quickly understood our product needs and consistently delivered thoughtful, high-quality designs. Working with him was smooth, efficient, and always inspiring.
