SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER

I design products people can use
without a second thought.

I'm Rhea, a senior product designer and the sole designer at Digidentity, a regulated identity platform that has created 25M+ verified identities across 180+ nationalities. I lead product design across iOS, Android and web, working with product, engineering, security and compliance to turn security-heavy requirements (verification, recovery, authentication) into flows people can follow the first time, in 8 languages.

How I Work

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.

How that shows up in the work
  • Product thinking. I phase work to match real capacity, like fixing web recovery first while the native flow was built, and I validate direction with surveys and workshops when user testing isn't possible.
  • Interaction design for complex flows. Five recovery scenarios routed into three clear paths, and error states that always offer a next step, supported by my illustration and motion background.
  • Systems thinking. I own the design system across iOS, Android and web, and build features as reusable patterns, like one scan pattern for three document types.
  • Technical and regulatory collaboration. Fluent in eIDAS, eHerkenning and qualified signatures. I work through specs, edge cases and design QA with engineering, security and compliance.
