Career
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with global brands, fast-growing startups, and innovative teams across MarTech, SaaS, and AI.
I’ve learned that great design doesn’t happen in isolation — it’s built through collaboration.
The best solutions balance user needs, business goals, and technical possibilities.
I approach every project with curiosity, working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and stakeholders to design experiences that are meaningful, scalable, and impactful.
