I’m a
Lead Designer
with 12 years of experience, who loves
the messy middle, the space where a vague idea needs to become a tangible, scalable reality.
I bridge the gap between product strategy, brand vision, systems thinking and high-fidelity craft. If you’re looking for a partner to
help scale a design culture, go from 0 to 1,
make the complex simple, or
turn lemons into lemonade,
let’s talk. Outside of design, I also make films and paintings.
