Hi friend,
With over 14 years of design experience, I love turning complex challenges into simple, human-centered experiences people truly enjoy. More than building products, I focus on creating trusting, high-performing teams where innovation, curiosity, and care take precedence, helping designers grow and demonstrating to organizations how design can be a genuine strategic partner.
