About

Over the years, I’ve worked across fintech, education, insurance, and analytics platforms, designing products that aim to remove friction from everyday work. These days a lot of my time goes into: • Designing workflow-heavy SaaS tools • Shaping products that involve automation or system-driven suggestions • Building and evolving design systems as products grow • Improving decision paths and navigation in complex interfaces Lately, much of my work involves designing alongside increasingly intelligent systems. It is both demanding and rewarding. Demanding because it introduces new layers of complexity, and rewarding because it pushes design beyond static screens into ongoing interaction, judgment, and trust. Alongside product work, I teach design. Working with students keeps me grounded and reinforces the value of clear thinking, strong fundamentals, and restraint over chasing trends. If you’re building B2B or tooling products where people manage tasks, decisions, or data throughout the day, we will likely share similar challenges and perspectives.
