About me, in a nutshell
I embrace possibilities, challenge conventions, and influence change.
I’ve spent the past 7+ years as a solopreneur, traveling the world, working across time zones, and collaborating with teams of all sizes — all from my handy laptop.
Along the way, I’ve built tools, led redesigns, shaped systems, and guided teams in rethinking how they approach UX. My journey has given me a front-row seat to design at every scale. It’s taught me to approach design with curiosity, cultural sensitivity, and inclusivity.
MY DESIGN ETHOS
Good design
makes room
for people.
Questioning assumptions, building closely across disciplines, and taking ownership of how products hold up over time. Meaningful work isn't designed for people in the abstract. It's shaped alongside them.
