About
10+ years leading end-to-end product design across SaaS, enterprise, and startup environments. Most recently specializing in designing and building AI-powered products — for internal operations and enterprise clients alike — using modern AI-assisted development tools to move from concept to shipped software. Skilled at translating user research and business objectives into accessible, high-impact design solutions, and at leading cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle with agile practices.
Builds the shared language, not just the screen.
Turns scattered UI decisions into a system everyone can point to — and defends it after launch.
Makes the process legible to the whole room.
Years spent turning product design into curriculum means the explanation is never the weak link.
Treats WCAG as a baseline, not a checkbox.
Accessibility gets built in at the wireframe, not patched on before ship.
Comfortable from wireframe to client pipeline.
Reads a market and a Figma file with the same fluency.
