Profile: https://flows.cv/sandras

Product Designer with multi-disciplinary experience in B2B tools, UI systems, and data-driven design.
I specialize in simplifying complex workflows for digital products that boost productivity, clarity, and user outcomes.

Since 2022, I’ve transitioned from Visual Designer to Product Designer through hands-on freelance and volunteer projects with cross-functional teams, strengthening my skills in UX, product strategy, and front-end design.

I focus on making impactful, user-centered decisions that align with business goals. My diverse background and international perspective help me adapt quickly, collaborate effectively, and deliver high-quality solutions that drive engagement and growth.

When I’m not designing, you can find me at the gym, organizing and remodeling spaces, crafting home decorations or traveling around the world.

Interested in collaborating? Drop me a DM — I’d love to connect.
