I’m a product design leader who blends user-centred thinking with AI-enhanced workflows to solve complex product problems end-to-end. Across startups and enterprise teams, I’ve helped translate research into clear product direction—mapping journeys, stress-testing concepts, and driving design systems that teams can build from confidently. I’m especially excited by integrating AI into discovery and delivery, including fact-checking AI outputs against source data and accelerating prototyping directly from design system definitions. I also enjoy mentoring designers, running workshops and retrospectives, and partnering closely with engineering and product to ship high-quality experiences across web and mobile.…I’m a product design leader who blends user-centred thinking with AI-enhanced workflows to solve complex product problems end-to-end.
