I like to take things apart and put them back together again. Seriously. For nearly 20 years, I have been a product designer and team leader who thrives on unraveling complex workflows - from Healthcare and Banking to Online Advertising, Marketing Tech, and Consumer Products - and rebuilding them into user-centered, business-friendly tools.
I excel at front-end development and steering product strategy, blending creative design with technical chops and a clear vision for market success.
When I’m not streamlining systems or identifying new market opportunities, you might find me traveling, playing soccer, detailing my car, conquering open-world video games, tinkering with home automation, building watches from scratch, or lost in a good book.
