I’m a product designer in Brooklyn with a foundation in graphic design and a tendency to bring order to chaos. Whether I’m mapping systems or untangling a messy workflow, I thrive on creating clarity.


My process is structured but flexible: ask sharp questions, collaborate openly, and iterate relentlessly until the solution feels intuitive.

For the past four years, I've designed B2B and B2C apps (web and iOS) across industries from fintech to retail-tech. My work spans the full product lifecycle, 0 → 1 launches, growth initiatives, and everything between, always grounded in usability, iteration, and team collaboration.


I’ve led efforts in interaction design, workflow optimization, and product strategy, shaping experiences that balance business goals with user needs.


When I’m not designing, you might catch me scaling the third-highest peak in Central America, reading about Cold War-era spy fiascos, doom-scrolling plant-based recipes, or cat-sitting Maizel, a mashed-potato-soft tabby Maine Coon mix.
