Transforming complex SaaS and enterprise products through strategic design and AI-augmented workflows — working full-time with corporations and fractionally with startups that need senior design leadership without full-time commitment.

I’m a Design Strategist and UX Leader with over 10 years of experience turning complex SaaS platforms, IoT systems, and enterprise products into intuitive, human-centered solutions.

My philosophy: design should balance idealism with structure, solving real problems while shaping sustainable ecosystems. I thrive on complexity—using systems thinking, UX strategy, and service design to align user needs with business goals.

As a leader, I’ve built and mentored design teams, introduced design systems, and fostered cross-functional collaboration that drives product vision forward. I bring a mix of broad vision, analytical thinking, and empathy, ensuring every decision is purposeful and strategically aligned.

Above all, I’m driven to create meaningful experiences that improve people’s lives and help organizations navigate the future with clarity.
