About

As a product designer and systems operator, I partner with founders to create products, internal systems, and digital infrastructure from the ground up. My expertise lies in the convergence of product, user experience, growth, and operations, where I design websites, automation solutions, internal tools, SEO frameworks, and scalable workflows that are both effective and adopted. I thrive in dynamic, early-stage settings where taking initiative is valued over formal titles. Presently, I lead Technology & Digital Strategy at Biophilin Pharmaceuticals, overseeing the development of the company's digital backbone and operational systems as it gears up for significant expansion. In parallel, I founded Certus, a platform dedicated to demystifying insurance products and making them more accessible to consumers. My experience spans a wide range of projects within startups, founder-driven teams, and venture programs, including MVP design, web systems, marketing implementation, automation, payment processing, and operational setup. I'm driven by a passion for creating systems that enable organizations to transition from initial ideas to tangible results with maximum efficiency. My focus is on delivering clear, impactful, and sustainable outcomes, rather than fleeting trends.
