a list of brands I've designed for including: Culture Amp, Academia.edu, Heri Digital, Apple, Twitter, Western Digital, Chevron, and more.

WHAT I'M GOOD AT

Compassion, an intense love of design and pure drive are what fuel my unstoppable mission to create beautiful and efficient user experiences.

Design Leadership

Design leadership goes beyond ideas—it's about inspiring teams, advocating for users, and fostering collaboration for real impact.

Product Strategy

Product strategy gives design direction and purpose. I ensure alignment with business goals, user needs, while prioritizing impact.

User Research

User research makes design work by revealing needs and frustrations. It moves past assumptions, guiding solutions that truly help.

Presentation & Storytelling

A strong narrative makes design meaningful—connecting vision, user needs, and value. My superpower is bringing ideas to life and driving collaboration.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Great products come from cross-functional collaboration. Partnering with engineers, PMs, and researchers brings diverse perspectives, ensuring alignment and better solutions.

Iterative Design & Refinement

Rapid iteration drives better experiences through testing, learning, and refining. It helps validate assumptions, explore ideas, and create evolving products.

Systems Thinking & Scalability

Systems thinking ensures products meet user needs while scaling with the business. Flexible, modular design keeps solutions future-proof without constant reinvention.

UX & UI Design
Mastery

Great design is about impact, not just looks. Mastering UX & UI means creating intuitive, seamless experiences that drive engagement and growth.
