United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a design executive who builds high-performing design organizations and ships platform products from 0 to market. I have repeatedly led founding design efforts—scaling teams from a single designer to multi-disciplinary groups, creating role frameworks, and accelerating iteration and prototype output while contributing to successful funding and acquisition outcomes.
I specialize in platform and workflow UX, creative tooling, and payments/fintech, with hands-on product design experience across editor, cloud, multiplayer, SDK, and payment lifecycles. I prioritize cross-functional collaboration, clear design systems, and measurable impact—reducing iteration cycles, increasing prototype throughput, and delivering differentiated product features that supported fundraising and acquisitions.
