The thing about me is...

I care about people, good design and leaving things better than I found them.

After more than 10 years in design, I’ve learned that great product design is rarely about the screen alone. It’s about understanding people, asking the right questions, bringing different perspectives together and helping a team make confident decisions.

I’m at a point in my career where I want to do more than design the experience. I want to help shape the direction, mentor designers, create clarity when things get complicated and build an environment where good people can do their best work.

That’s why I’m particularly interested in Senior, Lead and Design Management opportunities where I can combine hands-on product design with leadership, collaboration and strategic thinking.

◎
People firstI enjoy understanding different perspectives and creating space for people to contribute.
