About

I’m a full-stack Product Designer passionate about innovation, Design Ops, and AI enablement, helping teams work smarter and deliver greater impact in remote-first environments. At PERSUIT, I lead and evolve our design practice, partnering with leadership to grow the team and elevate how we deliver high-quality product outcomes, all while staying hands-on with tools and craft. With over 20 years of design experience, including more than 13 years in product design, I have a deep understanding of the end-to-end design process, from discovery to delivery. I balance strategic thinking with a pragmatic approach to create solutions that are user-centered, commercially effective, and leverage emerging technologies to drive scalable innovation. I’ve designed SaaS and digital products across startups, scale-ups, and enterprises in industries such as finance, legal, advertising, automotive, energy, enterprise solutions, manufacturing, retail, wagering, and education. I’ve also worked extensively with emerging technologies including AI, AR, Web3, and Blockchain. As a founding team member in several early-stage startups, I bring strong business acumen and a product mindset that blends creativity, strategy, and execution.
