About Me

I'm a product designer with 7+ years of experience crafting intuitive interfaces for SaaS products, mobile apps, and design systems. I collaborate closely with founders, engineers, and PMs to turn ambiguous problems into clear, elegant solutions. My process is rooted in user research, rapid prototyping, and iterative refinement. When I'm not designing, I'm probably hiking, reading about type design, or experimenting with generative art.
