Product Designer

Systems & AI-Enabled Builder

I design the structure of digital products – the objects, relationships, and patterns that make them intuitive and efficient to build.

I partner with engineering teams to create coherent systems at scale. Deep experience with design systems, complex SaaS, and multi-platform apps.
