DatAds
At DatAds, a B2B SaaS startup in the creative performance marketing space, I was responsible for shaping both the brand and the product experience. I led the branding and visual identity, designed the complete website and platform UX, and translated complex product capabilities into a clear, compelling narrative. In addition to UX and UI design, I implemented the marketing website using Webflow and worked closely with the founders on positioning, messaging, and strategic direction.

Soft.Fact
During my collaboration with soft.fact, I played a key role in rebuilding the company’s entire website and significantly optimizing the UX of their SaaS product. I worked closely with internal teams to bring structure to early-stage ideas and brainstorming sessions, helping translate abstract concepts into clear, intuitive user experiences. My work focused on improving usability, clarity, and overall product quality, ensuring that both the software and the website communicated value effectively and felt coherent as a single brand experience. Beyond execution, I contributed strong conceptual ideas, asked critical questions, and delivered hands-on solutions that elevated the product to a more polished, user-centered, and strategically aligned state.

My role covered the full product lifecycle, including user research, stakeholder workshops, UX architecture, and UI design within the enterprise-level design system. I took long-term responsibility for the platform’s UX and visual consistency, collaborated closely with multiple development teams, and ensured smooth handovers, implementation alignment, and ongoing quality assurance throughout the project.
