What I'm looking for

I seek senior design leadership roles at product-focused companies, ideally remote-friendly, where I can lead SaaS product design, mentor teams, and drive measurable growth and successful outcomes.

I’m a UX/UI lead designer and founder with 16 years’ experience leading product and agency design. Over the last 6 years I founded and directed Unlocal.co and its design school, helping startups raise over $60M and contributing to roughly $40M in exits.

I specialize in SaaS product design, complex data interfaces and design systems, having led projects for Marsh McLennan, Infinitas Learning, Butlin’s and others. I mentor teams, drive product strategy, and focus on clean, intuitive interfaces that scale and deliver measurable outcomes.
