Senior Product Designer and founding designer, I design digital products end to end, from UX framing to production, including design systems, user testing and coordination with tech and product teams. My scope sometimes extends beyond digital: I have also designed physical devices, from interior ergonomics to graphic finishing. I integrate AI and code prototyping into my daily workflows to speed up design, research and handoffs. My background in art direction and branding lets me combine product vision, visual consistency and execution efficiency.
