My Role

As the Lead UX/UI Designer at GiveAway, I was responsible for building the product experience from the ground up — mobile, web, and design system — for a platform used by millions. From day one, I led the end-to-end design process across native mobile and web platforms. I conducted user research, mapped out user flows, created wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and developed a scalable design system to ensure visual and functional consistency. Working closely with founders, engineers, and YC mentors, I aligned design decisions with business goals and product strategy. I also used product analytics to understand user behavior and iterate quickly based on real data. My focus was on making the platform intuitive, engaging, and trustworthy — helping millions of users easily trade items with virtual coins. The result: 1M+ items traded, $5M+ saved by users, and a rapidly growing, loyal community.
