Intro

  • Hello there, I’m a Product Designer who enjoys solving problems, making complex things simple, and creating products that are useful for people and valuable for the business.

  • I’m a Product Designer with more than 15 years of experience working across brand and product, from small startups to large companies. I have a strong background in fintech and I enjoy making products simple and useful.

  • I take pride in my craft, and love mentoring earlier career designers. I develop cross functional partnerships, and thrive in complex, ambiguous environments.

  • I’m a systems thinker with a high bar for quality. From process to pixels, I’ll collaborate with you, learn from you, and help make something we’re proud of.

  • I bring end-to-end product acumen, from vision and strategy to discovery and delivery. I’ll partner closely with you to generate the highest impact possible.

  • I’m {not_an_engineer} but I’ve been on both sides of the screen; from designing + building responsive websites to crafting reusable components and dev-ready handovers. I speak “developer” fluently enough to design with the build in mind.
