“I'm strongest in the messy middle: complex products, unclear flows, scattered knowledge, and systems that technically work but still leave users unsure. I turn that complexity into clearer journeys, usable interfaces, and learning experiences people can understand, trust, and adopt.”
Senior Product Designer with 12+ years across UX/UI and product design, with a focus on complex workflows, product adoption, learning experiences, content architecture, design systems and AI-assisted product work. I work best where products are complex, context is scattered and users need clearer journeys, better structure and calmer ways to move through a system.
