About

Great products aren't built by adding more features - they're built by solving the right problems. I'm a Senior Product Designer with 8.5+ years of experience designing AI-powered, SaaS, EdTech and enterprise products that simplify complex workflows and create meaningful user experiences. I work across the entire product lifecycle, partnering with Product Managers, Engineers and business stakeholders to transform ideas into scalable digital products for web and mobile. At Lighthouse Learning Group, I lead end-to-end product design for K-12 platforms used by students, teachers, parents and school administrators. My work spans discovery research, UX strategy, information architecture, interaction design, design systems, high-fidelity UI, usability testing and developer handoff. I've contributed to AI-powered learning experiences, enterprise dashboards and multi-persona products where usability, accessibility and scalability are just as important as visual design. Before joining Lighthouse, I designed products across SaaS, Web3 and FinTech, giving me experience solving problems in both consumer and enterprise environments. Earlier in my career, I worked in Civil Engineering and Interior Design, experiences that continue to shape my systems thinking, structured problem-solving and attention to detail. What I bring to a team: - End-to-end product design from discovery to delivery - UX strategy and product thinking grounded in user research - Design systems that improve consistency and scale - Mobile and web experiences for enterprise and consumer products - Information architecture and interaction design for complex workflows - Cross-functional collaboration with Product, Engineering and business teams - Research-informed decisions that balance user needs, business goals and technical constraints I enjoy working on products where design has a meaningful impact on both users and the business. Whether it's simplifying a complex workflow, designing AI-assisted experiences or building scalable systems, my focus is always on creating products that are intuitive, effective and built to grow. I'm always open to connecting with people building thoughtful products, solving challenging problems and looking for a collaborative product designer who enjoys turning complexity into clarity.
