Senior Product Designer with 9 years of experience at the intersection of product strategy, UX/UI and technology. I combine enterprise design expertise with hands-on AI-assisted development, taking products from early concepts to working, shipped experiences.
I bring a pragmatic, collaborative approach to complex product challenges, connecting business goals, user needs and technical constraints. From stakeholder alignment and scalable design systems to prototyping, implementation and release, I focus on moving products forward.
