About
I'm a senior product designer with more than 10 years of experience, most of it spent making complicated things clear. Today that means 0-to-1 product work on an AI platform at Validity. Before that, I designed developer onboarding at Akoya and led brand and web projects at agencies.
That range is how I work. I can run the research, set up the design system, prototype in code, and design the identity and website that carry a product to market. Alongside full-time work, I still take on brand, web and product projects.
