Product Designer & Design Systems Engineer

About

Product designer with five years shipping consumer products end to end — event ticketing across web and two native apps, Web3 identity on Base, and a multi-brand design system across five products. I've usually been the only designer on the product, which is how I ended up building the infrastructure too: the token architecture, and the two Figma plugins that sync it to GitHub and audit it.

Experience

UX/UI Designer & Design Systems Lead

MEZORN LLC

2025 March - NOW

Built Grid, a multi-brand design system for Mezorn's product suite — 1,248 tokens and over 700+ components across UBCab, UBExpress, UBEats, and payment products, usable in four months and now the source of truth for every designer on the team. Its three-tier token architecture lets designers and engineers keep separate vocabularies while engineering stays on Material 3. I also wrote and shipped the two Figma plugins that maintain it: Token Updater, which commits tokens to GitHub as a single atomic change with a diff preview, and Token Checker, which audits files against 280+ valid tokens and rebinds violations in one click — 1,000+ runs in daily team use.

Head of Design

Portal.mn, MEP LLC

2023 - 2025 March

Sole designer for Mongolia's event ticketing platform across responsive web, iOS, and Android — discovery, event pages, seat selection, checkout, ticket wallet, organiser tools, and resale — working with one to three engineers and making product calls jointly. Designed the seat map as composable primitives (sections, rows, seats) rather than per-venue drawings, so a new venue is configured instead of designed and the platform can onboard a client without a designer in the loop. Built the in-platform resale marketplace end to end — listing, pricing, discovery alongside primary inventory, and ownership transfer — so a resold ticket stays verifiable at the door. Shipped checkout across 15+ payment providers; peak event sold 25,000+ tickets. Built the design system, brand, and event artwork alongside the product.

Lead Product Designer

BASE NAME SERVICE, MEP LLC

2022 - 2023

Sole designer for a Web3 naming service on Coinbase's Base network, backed by Orange DAO — name search, registration and minting, wallet onboarding, identity management, and resale, plus the design system underneath, working with an international dev team and DAO contributors. Put name search ahead of wallet connection, inverting the category default so users reached the highest-friction step already motivated rather than being asked to commit first. Built the mint flow around an operation that is slow, irreversible, and unverifiable, where most of the design work is telling people what state they're in. 4,133 names minted by 1,202 holders; won the Thank APE Builders Contest, 2023. Wound down in August 2024 when Coinbase launched Basenames and honoured every BNS holder with a free Basename.

Lead UX/UI Designer

MongolNFT, MEP LLC

2022 - 2025

Design across MongolNFT's Web3 and SaaS portfolio — marketplaces, NFT platforms, and digital services — establishing shared systems and flows across 10+ projects, and working with cross-functional teams to align design decisions with product goals.

Front-End & UX/UI Intern

Infinite Solutions LLC

2021-2022

Designed and built the interface for a supply chain traceability application at one of Mongolia's fintech infrastructure companies, implementing it in Flutter with a focus on real-time data visualisation and usability. Also contributed to a blockchain project whitepaper, bridging design and technical communication.
