A seasoned product designer with over 16 years of experience, I have a proven track record in SaaS, B2C, and Marketplace products.

Known for my thoroughness and approachability, I am fuelled by a passion to bring intricate ideas to life, enriching customers’ lives by inventing innovative product features, crafting interfaces, and rethinking user experiences through design thinking and creative problem-solving.

Since 2007, I’ve played a pivotal role in bringing numerous client visions to life, wearing various hats such as UI designer, 
UX interviewer, product director, team manager, mentor, award winner, and 
all-round problem solver.

I've brought countless client visions to life
