Blending psychology, design & strategy

I design for people, scale for business & build with teams—mixing big-picture thinking with hands-on execution. Bonus points if we keep it fun.

With 15+ years in product design, UX/UI, & strategy, I’ve helped startups & global companies scale, increase engagement & improve outcomes, impacting over 150M users across fintech, medtech & digital health.

Currently consulting on product strategy, design systems & AI-driven solutions while diving deeper into transformative AI & game design.
