Bio

I’m a designer who loves diving into complex problems and finding clarity through creativity and tech. Over the years at places like Microsoft and Accenture I’ve learned that the best solutions don’t just look good; they make people’s lives easier and businesses stronger. I’m drawn to projects where design meets AI, data, and systems thinking, where every decision can shape how people work, learn, or connect.

What keeps me going is curiosity about people, tools, and the “why” behind every interaction. I enjoy building things that last: design systems, better processes, and teams that grow together.

Sr. Product Designer

Data as a compass

I use data as a diagnostic tool—it shows me where users get stuck, what resonates, and what falls flat. But data without empathy is incomplete. Understanding the human experience behind the metrics is what drives meaningful design. My process integrates analytical rigor with deep user empathy, allowing me to see not just what is happening, but why it matters.

Creativity thrives within constraints

Constraints fuel creativity. Ideas come easily, but impact requires discernment. Not every concept is feasible, and not every solution will resonate with users. I focus on designs that solve multiple problems simultaneously while delivering tangible results—solutions that improve user experience and drive business value in equal measure.

Collaboration is key

Great design doesn't happen in isolation. My best work stems from deep collaboration with engineers, data scientists, and product teams. I believe in moving beyond surface-level metrics to have meaningful conversations that challenge assumptions and unlock new possibilities. Innovation thrives on curiosity and diverse viewpoints.
