Making a global impact through design

Making a global impact through design

I build and lead design and research teams at emerging companies to embed user-centric principles in product development. I help identify the right problems to solve, take ownership of the experience, and design intuitive solutions at the highest level of craft and execution.

👋 Let's work together

I’m seeking a position that requires design thinking and systems thinking to bring clarity to a complex, technical domain.
