I’m a product designer with 10+ years of experience turning complex ideas into simple, intuitive digital experiences. My agency background has taught me how to work closely with clients, understand what they’re trying to achieve, manage feedback, and deliver thoughtful design solutions. I’ve also worked in product teams, giving me a strong understanding of how design needs to work beyond the screen—from user needs and business goals to development and delivery. I’m collaborative, curious, and focused on creating work that is both useful and enjoyable to use.
