About

I’m a hands-on product builder at the intersection of emotional design, AI, and growth. My approach is simple: build products that 'feel' as good as they function. I believe great design isn’t just about pixels or features—it’s about creating memorable experiences that spark emotion and drive real impact (both for users and the business). I love working from first principles, breaking down problems, and building things that people actually talk about. Whether it’s launching zero-to-one products, scaling growth, or hacking together MVPs, I care about keeping things simple, beautiful, and deeply human. Over the past 5 years, I’ve shipped soulful products, led product growth, and turned big ideas into reality with lean teams and tight timelines. If you’re looking for someone who can blend sharp product sense with deep technical curiosity and who believes the best products are built with heart and logic - let’s connect.
