Shaping product & crafting interfaces

Direction

I’m a product focused designer with experience across early stage and big tech. My roles have spanned product strategy and design, allowing me to steer product vision, craft interfaces, and define brand identities.

I came to design with a passion for product and entrepreneurship. I viewed design as a tool to express my ideas and vision. I quickly became obsessed with mastering the principles of design – from UI to typography.

My passion still lives within entrepreneurship and product. However, my view of design has shifted away from purely demonstration. I now view design as a process of continuous discovery and iteration – a process that can drive business value, enhance experiences, and still demonstrate vision.
