I have worked with prototypes, testing, design systems and Product and Engineering teams, connecting user feedback, business goals and technical feasibility. I am especially interested in designing products that help people understand information and make better decisions.

Education

Working approach

Understanding the problem before designing the solution, making design decisions explicit and validating early through research, prototypes and feedback. I aim to balance clarity, visual judgment, usability and technical feasibility, and to work closely with product and engineering until the experience works in production.
