About

From a self-taught designer to a Senior Product Designer at a $1B unicorn — it’s been one wild ride. 🚀 I've come a long way and It's been an incredible journey filled with challenges and triumphs. Along the way, I've had the privilege to: → Design for industries ranging from Cloud to PropTech → Drive revenue and retention through user-first, data-informed UX → Build experiences that don’t just look great — they work My approach? I focus on identifying core UX challenges and solving them at the intersection of business goals and user needs. I was able to achieve all of this through:
 → In-depth research to uncover insights that drive strategy. → Rapid prototyping that quickly transforms ideas into solutions. → Collaborative teamwork to align vision and execution. → Storytelling that communicates design intent and impact. Along the way, I faced unclear feedback, design imposter syndrome, and endless “make it pop” requests. Today, I create content to help UX/Product Designers grow faster by sharing: → "Spicy takes on design culture, hiring, and career growth" → "Frameworks for thinking like a product partner, not a pixel pusher" → "AI + UX workflows that save you hours" Let’s connect — or just hit follow and come along for the ride.
