Senior Product Designer with 10+ years of experience taking work from concept to launch: Product Design, UX/UI Design, Visual Design, and Interaction Design.

I partner with stakeholders and developers, present the thinking behind every decision, and deliver work that moves real numbers: +32% visitors, +36% engagement, +26% subscriptions.
