What I'm looking for

I seek a product-led role where I can drive research-informed design, build scalable design systems, mentor teams, and deliver measurable user and business impact in a collaborative, inclusive culture.

I am a product-focused digital designer who turns user insights into intuitive, scalable solutions that meet business goals. I bring a research-led approach and a product mindset to every project, prioritizing measurable impact and thoughtful experience.

Throughout my career I have led end-to-end design efforts across fintech, edtech, health-tech, and enterprise tools, contributing to substantial outcomes such as supporting a lending platform used by 50,000+ customers and enabling over $70M in loans.

I build design systems, prototype rapidly with emerging experiential tools, and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders to improve delivery and implementation. I also lead and mentor design communities and drive accessibility and inclusive design practices.

I seek to solve real problems with ethical, data-informed design, creating products that scale across teams and time while improving retention, ROI, and user satisfaction.
