Product Designer

I turn messy problemsinto solutions that actually work.

I've always loved design and technology and found a way to bring them together. That curiosity and drive to keep figuring things out is what keeps the work honest.

Designer.Researcher at heart,
builder by nature.

Good design starts before you open Figma. I spend time with uncomfortable questions, messy research, and the people usually left out of the conversation. That curiosity shapes everything I make.
