Experience

I love product design in all its formsโ€”from digging into research to drawing rectangles in Figma, formulating hypotheses, testing them, and everything in between. I consider myself a generalist, and Iโ€™m always drawn to projects where I can be involved end-to-end.

Over the years, Iโ€™ve moved through different roles, touched on various industries, and worked both freelance and in-house. Freelancing taught me how to navigate ambiguity, guide clients toward what they actually need (not just what they ask for), and adapt to projects at very different stages of maturity. Working in-house taught me how to be a strong designer within a product and tech teamโ€”how to support the team, think long-term, and design in a way thatโ€™s both strategic and future-proof.

These experiences have made me a flexible and adaptable designerโ€”able to quickly read the context Iโ€™m in, adjust my approach, and contribute where it matters most.
