I design products people can use
without a second thought.
I'm Rhea — a senior product designer, and the sole designer across iOS, Android and web for a regulated platform that has created 25M+ verified identities across 180+ nationalities. I take security-heavy systems — verification, recovery, authentication — and make each step clear enough to follow the first time: intuitive UI, effortless UX, and plain-language guidance that holds up across 8 languages.
Work that turns complex systems into trusted products.

With a large appetite for learning, I find the interplay of design, psychology and technology extremely intriguing.
I work at the intersection of trust and usability, turning complex problems into experiences that feel clear, effortless, and genuinely usable for everyone.
As the sole designer on complex, regulated products, I lead through collaboration, working directly with PMs, engineers, security and compliance, the service desk, and QA to make the right trade-offs between hard constraints and the user experience.
I believe the best design comes from understanding constraints deeply enough to design within them gracefully, rather than fighting against them. It's grounded in research, testing, and iteration. I own the design system, ship across three platforms, and write copy that survives translation into eight languages.
- Regulated digital identity depth: eIDAS, qualified electronic signatures, eHerkenning, and the EU Digital Identity Wallet. Fluent in the compliance logic, not just the screens.
- Evidence-led decisions under real constraints. When external user testing isn't possible, I validate direction through structured surveys and stakeholder research.
- An illustration and motion background I bring into product, from instructional scan animations to a design system that holds across three platforms and eight languages.
