With the aim of spreading online freedom to masses, ZenMate introduced various internet security features and products that reached over 40 million users with its simplicity, design and performance. As a user experience designer, I led the overall design strategy and design execution for VPN product refreshments, ZenMate Premium service, the user dashboard along with an email encryption browser extension.

During my tenure as one of the two designers at ZenMate, the company evolved into one of the premier digital products within the tech industry, cherished by millions who champion internet freedom, particularly in areas where online activities are restricted and monitored. My primary role entailed demystifying complex concepts such as encryption and security, rendering them accessible, comprehensible, and user-friendly.
