About

I’m a senior product and UI/UX designer with experience leading end-to-end design work that spans user research, strategy, interaction design, high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams.

In my most recent engagements with Oliver Wyman, I led a company-wide initiative to unify and restyle multiple internal AI tools into a more cohesive platform. In that role, I drove UX strategy and execution in a fast-paced, collaborative setting — balancing visual clarity, usability, technical constraints, and long-term scalability while translating insights into compelling design solutions.

I bring a strong foundation in visual design systems, interaction patterns, and inclusive design execution, and I’m comfortable operating at multiple levels of fidelity — from early explorations to polished, production-ready experiences. I value iteration, collaboration, and clear communication, and I’m eager to work with multidisciplinary peers to create solutions that are functional, expressive, and meaningful for diverse audiences.
