about me

I'm a design thinker with an entrepreneurial mind, coupled with product design, UX research, and service design expertise, product and business acumen. 

 

I have a knack for framing problems, empathy for end-users, and storytelling ability to spark insights that deliver solutions and innovations using human-centered design and lean startup methodologies. I have an eye for great UX and UI design to deliver simple, innovative, and instinctual physical and digital products that provide purpose and impact.
