My areas of expertise include product design, design systems, and 0->1 products, where I bring innovative ideas to life.
With a robust background in digital product design, I've tackled a wide range of projects, from straightforward apps and websites to intricate B2B solutions like CRMs and intranets. My approach is hands-on and comprehensive, taking projects from inception to completion.
I excel in the discovery phase, facilitating workshops, and meticulously planning and designing user experiences. I deliver polished final user interfaces and high-quality prototypes. Additionally, I’m not afraid to dive into branding and asset creation when needed, ensuring a cohesive and unified design process.
What drives me is solving complex problems, developing dynamic design systems, and crafting engaging micro-animations. I thrive on creating solutions that are not only functional but also delightful to use.
