About

I design products that simplify complexity. Over the past six years, I've worked on business software across observability platforms and financial technology, partnering with Product and Engineering teams to transform complex workflows into intuitive experiences. My work spans user research, interaction design, product strategy, and end-to-end execution for products used by engineers and business professionals. Before moving into product design, I studied architecture, which continues to influence how I think about systems, information hierarchy, and designing for human behaviour at scale. Beyond my product work, I'm passionate about growing the design community. As a Visiting Faculty member and TEDx Speaker, I enjoy mentoring aspiring designers, conducting workshops, and sharing practical lessons from industry. I'm currently focused on growing into broader design leadership by driving product strategy, mentoring designers, and contributing to the design community through speaking, writing, and teaching.
