I design products people need to trust, not just use. With 10+ years across SaaS, complex B2B ecosystems and other high-stakes environments, I turn complex workflows and information-heavy systems into clear experiences. Strong across discovery, interaction design, UX architecture, Crafted UI and scalable design systems, I work closely with Product and Engineering to turn user signals into pragmatic iterations.
