My expertise spans eCommerce, finance, EdTech, and B2B, with experience in designing enterprise solutions, SaaS platforms, and more. I thrive in dynamic, cross-functional teams, working across startup and Fortune 500 environments to deliver intuitive, data-driven designs.

Passionate about continuous learning, I stay on top of the latest trends and technologies to bring fresh, impactful solutions. I believe great design, rooted in empathy, has the power to engage and delight users while delivering measurable results.

How I work

User-focused

Place user at the center of every design, product, engineering and business decision to create meaningful experiences.

Data-driven decisions

Leverage data to drive informed choices, always remembering that numbers represent real people and their needs.

Outcomes over outputs

Focus on making a real impact rather than just delivering features - success is measured by results, not output.

Servant leader

Strong relationships drive success - foster collaboration, trust and shared growth.
