About

As a Product Designer and UX strategist, I blend research, systems thinking, and curiosity. I work with startup founders to launch MVPs, build awesome products and run audits that unlock hidden potential in early-stage products. Along the way, I share my knowledge and experience as a Product Designer, develop AI-powered tools to support designers. My process is rooted in exploration and structure: → I dive deep into user behavior and business goals → I distill research into insight, insight into action → I design with intention — not assumptions I believe great design doesn’t just solve problems — it reveals them. And the more we understand, the better we build. Currently exploring: • AI as a design collaborator • Building products with AI • What “meaningful work” looks like when you’re also a parent Let’s connect if you care about thoughtful design, systems thinking, or building products with purpose.
