🎯 Product Design Work
On the product side, I work independently with our product manager to design features that enhance recruiter productivity across Instahyre’s core platform. These tasks involve bouncing ideas back and forth, exploring multiple design directions, and iterating quickly based on feedback. I take ownership of the entire UX workflow—from understanding the problem space to delivering polished high-fidelity designs.

Despite being fully remote, our team at Instahyre maintains a close-knit and collaborative culture. Whether it’s jumping on impromptu syncs with the PM, brainstorming visuals with the design team, or catching up in our monthly townhalls, there's always a sense of momentum and mutual respect.

📣 Marketing & Creative Collaboration
In parallel, I also work closely with the product marketing managers and social media manager on a wide range of marketing initiatives. While the design briefs vary—from email campaigns and motion graphics to social media visuals and sales decks—my role is to ensure high-quality output that’s on-brand and effective.
I lead creative direction for our graphic designer and motion designer. This involves quickly understanding briefs, brainstorming ideas, creating storyboards for motion graphics, and reviewing final deliverables for quality and consistency. I stay involved from concept to completion, balancing speed with attention to detail.
