I’m a UX Design Lead with 15+ years of experience shaping user-centered solutions across complex web and product ecosystems. My work centers on bridging user needs with business goals, while fostering collaboration across cross-functional teams. I bring expertise in end-to-end UX flows, design strategy, systems thinking, and team mentorship.
I thrive in guiding teams through ambiguity—connecting product strategy to user experience and building scalable, intuitive systems that support long-term growth. My approach balances creativity with rigor, ensuring design decisions are grounded in both insight and impact.
When I’m not designing, I’m painting, sketching, writing stories, or behind a camera—each a way of staying curious and connected to creativity.
