I'm a freelance product designer with 2+ years of experience helping startups bring their product vision to life. I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments where solving complex problems and building innovative solutions feels like solving an exciting puzzle.


As a product lead, I incorporate product strategy early in the design process. This approach helps me guide clients & stakeholders on how to package and scale their product launches while aligning teams on both short-term and long-term vision.

Honesty & Authenticity

I design transparent products that avoid unnecessary complexity. My work prioritizes clarity and user confidence while staying true to company values to build trust.

Encapsulation & Abstraction

My interfaces simplify complex features through clear, intuitive design that scales easily and remains maintainable.

Consistency

I conduct regular design reviews to maintain standards and ensure product uniformity while staying aligned with company values. I balance consistency with innovation to drive improvements without sacrificing usability.

Past

Past

Before diving into product design, I launched and led a production house and creative agency. As a Producer, Director, and Cinematographer, I brought award-winning documentaries, commercials, and campaigns to life. And guess what? We even snagged some shiny hardware along the way (hello, Cannes Lion and Webby Awards!)
