About

Designer.
Leader.
Builder.

I design by asking hard questions before opening Figma. After 14+ years across gaming, e-commerce, fintech and SaaS, I've learned that the most important design work happens before any pixel is drawn.

I move between strategy and execution – leading teams, shaping product vision, building design systems, and still caring deeply about the interaction detail on a single button state. I believe good design is invisible: it quietly solves problems and makes interactions feel inevitable.

I use AI not as a novelty but as a real tool: to prototype faster, explore more directions, automate repetitive production, and spend the time I save on the problems that actually matter.
