What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can lead design for AI-driven, data-rich products, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable business impact while advancing accessibility.

I am a product designer and strategist with 2+ years designing AI-powered, data-intensive platforms across finance, aerospace, and accessibility. I focus on turning ambiguous problem spaces into scalable systems and intuitive interfaces, and I have a Kellogg postgraduate certificate in Product Management.

My recent work includes owning end-to-end experience for a 0→1 AI investment platform, creating an AI-first interaction model that improved research speed by 40%, and shipping multiple features aligned to business OKRs. I bring hands-on research, accessibility expertise, and close collaboration with engineering and data teams to deliver measurable product impact.
