About

I design products that are functional, beautiful and easy to use. With a background of tech, art and design, I believe that great UX design can empower users by focusing them on their goals, not the technology. With this belief, I have spent more than a decade crafting delightful experiences for a wide variety of users through collaborations with product and development teams.
