I’m a Senior Product Designer who loves taking complex problems and turning them into simple, intuitive experiences. Over the past eight years, I’ve designed for e-commerce, ed-tech, AI, and marketplace products, always focusing on clarity, usability, and system-level thinking.

I move easily between UX strategy, visual design, and design system work, whether it’s shaping a new workflow, defining cross-platform tokens, or partnering with engineering to ship high-quality features. I enjoy collaborating with teams, asking good questions, and creating work that feels thoughtful, accessible, and genuinely useful.

Working at Blockbuster opened the door to hundreds of films, and I’ve loved discussing movies ever since.
