About Me

I'm a product and UX designer with 8+ years of experience designing web and mobile products across consumer and enterprise environments. I work from early research and user flows through prototyping, testing, and polished UI, turning complex requirements into clear, intuitive experiences.

My background in graphic and exhibit design gives me a strong visual foundation and an eye for hierarchy, composition, and detail. I enjoy bringing that craft to the hands-on work of building thoughtful digital products.

I thrive in collaborative environments that value curiosity, ownership, and adaptability. I'm motivated by building great products with great people, working closely with product and engineering partners to turn ideas into experiences people can use.

My Process

01 - Discovery

Understanding the Challenge

I begin each project by deeply understanding the problem space, user needs, and business objectives. This phase involves stakeholder interviews, user research, and competitive analysis.

  • Stakeholder interviews and requirement gathering
  • User research and needs analysis
  • Competitive analysis and market research
02 - Definition

Defining the Solution

With a clear understanding of the challenge, I define the solution space through user journeys, information architecture, and clear success metrics.

  • User journey mapping and flow diagrams
  • Information architecture development
  • Success metrics definition
03 - Design

Crafting the Experience

I create intuitive and efficient solutions through iterative design, starting with low-fidelity wireframes and progressing to high-fidelity prototypes.

  • Wireframing and rapid prototyping
  • Visual design and UI development
  • Interactive prototyping
04 - Validation

Testing & Iteration

I validate solutions through user testing and stakeholder feedback, iterating based on insights to ensure the final product meets all objectives.

  • Usability testing and feedback collection
  • Iterative refinement
  • Documentation and handoff

What I Bring to a Team

Craft

I care about the details: interaction, hierarchy, typography, visual polish, and the small decisions that make a product feel considered.

Curiosity

I like understanding how things work, asking questions, and getting deep enough into a problem to make good design decisions.

Execution

I get things done. I'm comfortable moving from rough ideas and prototypes through polished UI and implementation.

Let's Connect

I'm currently open to full-time opportunities.
