Thinking and User

Experience.

I build digital experiences, products, and visual identities.

I am a problem solver who thrives in the deep end. I have 9+ years of working with agencies, technology companies, early-stage businesses and startups. From idea generation to shipping human-centred, thoughtful design – my broad range of experience and working in agile and adaptive environments has helped me define my robust design process.

At my core, I am a people person who strives to do my part in helping businesses, brands, and people do better. I am pro-equality and anti-ego. I live for new experiences and truly value the power of collaboration.

I started as a Graphic Designer, focusing on creating great brands before becoming an advertising Art Director. I quickly gravitated toward the digital ecosystem, fascinated by products, design and disruptive ideas. I am excited to continue my journey as a Product Designer exploring the world of UX and applying my human-centred thinking.
