What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead UX/UI and product design in a small, execution-minded team—translating ambiguity into buildable flows, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows while collaborating closely with engineering and stakeholders.

I’m a product designer and founder/operator experienced across mobile apps, web products, internal tools, learning products, and AI-assisted workflow systems. I turn ambiguous product intent into clear UX flows, prototypes, and release-ready interface surfaces—always with buildability in mind.

My work is strongest where product strategy, content framing, and interface polish meet. I’m comfortable leading UX/UI, roadmap and positioning, and producing practical artifacts—wireframes, interface systems, QA criteria, and stakeholder-ready materials that help small teams ship.

I’ve led end-to-end delivery (from research and evidence to shipped outcomes), including an AI-assisted React Native/Expo workflow for a shipped iOS/Android app, and AI product work like lead triage and opportunity briefing. I collaborate closely across design, content, engineering, and stakeholders to keep products coherent and implementable.
