About Me

Lead product designer focused on systems, platform clarity, and long-term product quality. Experience spans both agency and in-house teams, working across complex domains where thoughtful structure and strong judgment matter.

The work centers on building durable foundations such as navigation, reporting, and design systems that scale as products grow. Projects often combine hands-on craft with design-led ownership, partnering closely with product and engineering to move from ambiguity to execution.

Earlier Roles

Pre-2016

An early adopter by nature, AI and emerging tools are used as part of my creative process, not as shortcuts, but as ways to explore, iterate, and sharpen intuition. Outside of design, I’m usually spending my time trying new recipes, petting a dog, or enjoying a really good cup of coffee.
