About Me

I lead complex product design projects across enterprise platforms and the systems behind them: interaction patterns, scalable components, accessibility, and business logic. I set direction, resolve ambiguity, and create the structure teams need to move from problem framing to implementation.
I work closely with product and engineering, treating technical constraints as design material. I use AI to accelerate research, synthesis, exploration, and documentation while keeping judgment, accessibility, craft, and strategic ownership human. My goal is not just to make better screens, it's to create systems that help products scale, teams move faster, and complex organizations operate with greater clarity.
