I'm a comprehensive product designer and an empathetic human based in the Bay Area.
I'm experienced in every stage of the design lifecycle—from strategy to concept to execution and implementation. My work spans UX strategy, journey mapping, prototyping, design systems, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

Driven by a profound passion for innovation, design and story telling, I have devoted my career to creating exceptional digital experiences. My journey in this dynamic industry began with a fascination for understanding user behavior and has grown into a deep-seated commitment to improving every interaction a user has with digital products.

Specializing in Product design, I strive to balance functionality, aesthetics, and business Needs in all of my work. I am particularly attracted to minimalist design principles, believing that simplicity often translates into user-friendly experiences. Yet, it's not just about stripping design elements down to the bare minimum; it's about using the right elements to communicate effectively. Thus, every line, color, and shape in my designs serves a specific purpose.

My design process starts with a thorough understanding of the user experience. I study the target audience's behavior, preferences, and needs, then utilize these insights to shape the product's design. The next step involves refining the visual details — every pixel, every transition, and every interface component is meticulously designed and reviewed to ensure they all contribute to an overall pleasing and intuitive user experience.

The Next step of my process is bringing these designs to life, test and iterate. As a designer who can code, I understand the bridge between design and development. This allows me to ensure that the final product is not only visually appealing but also robust, responsive, and Designed within the parameters of the framework.

Based in Bay Area, CA.

What I do

My process balances curiosity, creativity, and rigor. I begin by exploring user needs and mapping opportunities, translate insights into intuitive designs, collaborate closely during build, and measure impact with real data. When testing reveals new insights, I iterate—refining solutions to ensure every product decision is thoughtful, inclusive, and results-driven.
