      Houzy is a leading platform for home owners, buyers and sellers in Switzerland. As a Senior UX designer, I: • am the lead designer of most of the Houzy analysis tools for real estate owners, buyers, and sellers, which played a significant role in expanding the platform and increasing user acquisition. • designed the Houzy property search from scratch, owning the end-to-end design process and also handled a significant part of the product manager's work. This resulted in increased user retention and acquisition.• worked on redesigning the information architecture and navigation system for mobile and desktop, making them more user-friendly and meeting new requirements. This led to measurable improvements in usability, including increased tool usage, better platform understanding, and faster navigation.• build and maintain Houzy design system, • monitor and test of the implemented designs, ensuring flawless execution,• coach junior designers and PM trainees.
