Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/benaraica

I’m a Product Designer with a strong focus on UX and React, building clean, high-impact UI and solving complex user problems. I’ve worked on products in Fintech, Health, amongst others, translating systems into intuitive experiences, whether that’s dashboards, apps, or full website redesigns.

Recently, I’ve been focused on bridging design and engineering, building interfaces with real logic (filtering, state, API handling) rather than just static UI.
