About

To me, product design isn't just pixel-perfect screens: it's connecting strategic business goals and deep user understanding, finding the quick wins and innovation that drive real value.

I'm a product designer who thrives at the intersection of creativity, data, and strategic impact. I work shoulder-to-shoulder with product managers, engineers, and data analysts, evidence-led and fast to test, so design ships real value, not just screens.

That includes designing AI products, and designing with AI. Across seven years I've worked remotely with distributed, English-first teams at Whirlpool and Blip, which sharpened how I communicate and deliver across time zones.

Principles

What drives the work.

Strategic, outcome-driven design
I design for business outcomes, not screens. I read the OKRs and KPIs, see the whole product ecosystem, and look for the quick wins and structural bets that move revenue, cost, or advantage.
Evidence over opinion
Decisions backed by data and real user understanding. My Social Sciences background pushes me past the metrics into the qualitative “why”: through discovery, research, and fast, continuous experimentation.
AI with judgment
I design AI products, and design with AI. I also own the ethics of what ships: transparency and trust, so people understand what the AI does, why, and where it should stop.
Craft that ships
High-fidelity work, compelling storytelling, and a clean, low-error handoff to engineering. Craft isn't decoration; it's what makes the decision land and the build hold.
Team-first, ego-last
I plug into a team, not around it: I adapt to each company's culture and constraints, learn from the people around me, and stay proactive across product, engineering, and data. Remote and cross-functional by default.
Proof over promise
New tools and domains don't wait for a training plan: I pick them up on my own, build with them hands-on, and put the result in front of the team while feedback is still cheap. I'd rather show a working prototype than a slide about one.
