I'm a UX and visual designer with a real drive for building socially impactful products that make a difference. My secret sauce: a blend of visual design and creative strategy from my previous life working with Fortune 500 giants like McDonald's, Pfzier and Fendi on beautiful ads, pitch decks, and events. I love bringing that aesthetic eye to the product world. Now, I lead diverse, cross-functional teams, always using research-driven approaches to drive user growth for products across social, dating, healthcare, and wellness. For me, it's all about curiosity, craftsmanship, and continous learning to build experiences that are approachable, innovative, and - most importantly - joyful.
