I’m a designer who cares about creating beautiful things that help people.

I ask questions before diving into solutions.

I don’t wait for perfect briefs. I start with questions: What problem are we really solving? For whom? What’s actually possible given our constraints? What does success look like? This approach turns ambiguous asks into clear direction. It gets product, eng, and design aligned from the start.

I know how to operate in product-led organizations where design is still earning influence.

That means managing up and down, aligning stakeholders, and initiating design-led work without explicit mandate. I speak product and engineering fluently and frame decisions in terms of trade-offs and opportunity costs. Good design isn’t just “users love it” — it’s design that moves the business forward.

I thrive in different contexts.

Lean startups meant tight budgets and immovable deadlines. B2B Enterprise meant complex design restrictions. Global platforms meant balancing regional nuance with scale. Different constraints surface different solutions. I look for patterns that transfer and stay flexible about what needs to be solved fresh.
