Designing systems, not isolated screens.
My work covers the full product-design process, from research and problem framing through interaction design, prototyping, systems, validation, and engineering handoff. I focus on products with complex roles, workflows, data, and operational constraints—then make them understandable and scalable.
Alongside product work, I mentor developing designers in UX research, interaction design, systems thinking, critique, portfolio development, and real-world product challenges.
