Hi, I’m a UX design lead with over 15 years of experience designing thoughtful, user-centered solutions across web and product ecosystems. I thrive in creative, collaborative environments and work closely with cross-functional teams to align design with real user needs and business goals. My focus spans end-to-end UX flows, design strategy (both short- and long-term), systems thinking, and mentoring. I’m especially passionate about guiding teams through ambiguity and helping shape scalable, intuitive experiences.
I often work across multiple teams or initiatives, connecting the dots between product strategy and user experience, and ensuring consistency through scalable systems and design thinking.
Outside of work, I enjoy painting, drawing, writing fiction, and photography—creative pursuits that keep me inspired and curious.
