About

Product Designer focused on UX, strategy and strong visual craft. I combine research-driven problem solving with strategic product thinking to design meaningful user experiences and measurable business outcomes. I specialize in taking products from 0→1; validating ideas, defining product direction, shaping user flows and systems, and delivering visually refined interfaces that drive activation and growth.
