About Me

I am an impact-driven product designer who aspires to bring simplicity to complex products. I find a deep sense of meaning in connecting with users and helping improve productivity, accessibility, and connectivity for everyone.

Backed by years of experience in architectural design, I’m adept at tieing the big picture strategic decisions to the finest details. My background in designing spaces and communities helps me empathize with users.

I’ve been fortunate to have been mentored by senior design leaders in the industry. I’ve led design for enterprise (B2B) as well as consumer (B2C) products and am proficient in visual UI design, prototyping, UX design, and user-centered principle and methodologies.
