About

An accomplished Product Designer with more than 6 years of experience building holistic, user-focused products in the B2B2C software space. I’ve lead the end-to-end design of several zero to one products and shipped thoughtful experiences across many different domains each with their own complexities. I’ve been successful through the startup stage, hyper-growth environments, and designing at scale for millions of users—I know how to sell ideas and build high-quality products in the most efficient way for the business to succeed.
