What I'm looking for

Culture with strong human-centric design principles, cross-functional collaborative environment and eagerness to work iteratively and constantly improve both the customer-facing part of the business as well as the internal processes, tools and organisation.

I’m a design generalist with over nine years of experience in solving for the product space. I’m eager to collaborate with cross-functional teams and iteratively solve complex problems. I do my best when faced with technical constraints and I have a flair for the operational part of design – bringing cross-discipline teams together, building internal tools and figuring out better ways to work together.
