CV

A Product Designer who truly loves both the journey and the destination; I think in systems and leverage this approach to help me solve ambiguous and complex problems.

I excel at advocating for product users, fostering stronger team-wide collaboration, promoting healthy feedback cycles, and developing practical, lightweight frameworks for myself and my collaborators. These all contribute to my track record of crafting solutions that drive measurable results, and delivering solid 0-1 experiences which provide long-term value.
