Product Strategy

I partner with stakeholders early to turn ambiguous business goals into clear, testable product direction. From defining MVP scope to prioritizing features that drive conversion and growth, I make sure every design decision ties back to measurable outcomes, like reducing support burden or increasing successful self-service completion.



Experience Design

I design end-to-end experiences, from information architecture to the visual details that make an interface feel intuitive and on-brand. My graphic design background shapes how I approach design language and typography, and paired with usability testing and iteration, it results in polished experiences that drive conversions while building loyal users.



Cross-functional Leadership

Great products come from great collaboration. I work closely with engineering, product, and marketing to turn complex requirements into designs that are both compelling and buildable. My proficiency in coding languages lets me communicate fluently across the full process, from aligning with stakeholders early on to working directly with developers during implementation.
