Product Designer | Ex Corporate Lawyer → Design products for people to make better decisions in complex environments

About

A corporate lawyer turned Product Designer, I bring 3+ years of experience in compliance and contracts into user-centered product design. My transition was driven by a growing interest in how digital products are built and experienced, with a design approach grounded in structured thinking, analytical rigor, and user advocacy. A product designer who thrives in messy, high-stakes environments and turns them into structured, usable systems using a rare blend of legal precision and design thinking. I believe most products fail not because of bad UI, but because they don't help users make decisions. My work focuses on turning complexity into clarity whether that's legal systems, operational workflows, or data-heavy environments.
