My experience spans B2B, B2C, SaaS, MedTech, GovTech and FinTech products. But no matter the domain, one thing always matters most: aligning the business, the team, and the user around a shared goal. Design is my tool for this. Through processes that simplify the complex. Through collaboration. Through deep understanding of context.

[02] About
I'm a designer who loves clarity and meaning. Curiosity is my driver – into people, problems, and the reasons behind them.
Throughout my career, I've evolved from a hands-on designer to a team lead and eventually a Head of Design. That journey taught me to see systems, not just screens – and people, not just processes. This mindset now guides how I support companies in aligning design with business, building resilient teams, and creating space for growth.
If that’s your kind of thinking – we might work well together.
