— Product Designer

I turn complex problems into intuitive experiences — wrapped in design that actually has a point of view.

case studies
Heads up! These case studies are a bit lengthy. I share a lot about my process and design thinking. There's a good amount of visuals, and hopefully some good insight about my craft and how I work as a designer.

Hello.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10 years of experience helping early-stage and scaling startups turn complex operational problems into usable, revenue-driving products.

How I can help

I’ve worked as a founding or sole designer across Real Estate, Childcare, EdTech, and AgriTech, designing platforms that span logistics, scheduling, payroll, payments, and compliance-heavy workflows.

Highlights:

  • Designed and scaled two products from 0→1 through acquisition ($3M and $10M)
  • Led end-to-end product design across web and mobile
  • Interviewed hundreds of users across highly regulated, operationally complex industries
  • I use AI-assisted prototyping and validation to reduce risk and accelerate decision-making

I’m especially effective in environments where:

  • Requirements are messy
  • Rules are complex
  • Engineering resources are limited
  • Speed and clarity matter
