About
I believe great product design thrives on speed, clarity, and shared ownership.
The sooner a real product hits real users, the faster we learn what truly matters. I don't believe in over-polished ideas stuck in Figma, I believe in testing fast, improving fast, and shipping what moves the needle.
When I'm on a team, my goal is always the same: reduce noise, increase confidence, and get the right work out the door. I’ve worked across 0→1 products, enterprise SaaS, and high-velocity growth teams. And in every case, one truth holds up: the best design happens when engineering, product, and design move together, not in silos.
That’s where I focus: designing systems, flows, and collaboration rituals that remove blockers instead of adding layers. My work holds up in code, scales across orgs, and earns its place through results.
If we work together, expect someone who plugs in fast, thinks in systems, makes trade-offs visible, and keeps things moving, without sacrificing quality or clarity. Because great products aren’t just imagined. They’re built, together, under pressure, and with purpose.
