A career shaped by vision and craft — from Solana innovation to Fortune 500 execution.

Vision. Craft. Web3 to fortune 500 Enterprise
Strategic product & UX leader. Scaled Blockasset into a multi-product Solana brand. Apple-vetted creator for global launches. Led UX for Motusbank’s award-winning Price Drop, adopted by 1 in 6 users.
Strategist. Builder. Designer. Leader. Creator.
I’m a strategic product and UX leader with over 12 years of experience across creative direction, digital ecosystems, and cross-functional leadership — delivering results for Web3 startups, elite award-winning agencies, and Fortune 500 brands alike. I actively leverage AI to enhance creative workflows, accelerate UX research, and deliver sharper, faster solutions.
At Blockasset, I served in-house as CXO and Head of Product — scaling the Solana-native brand into a multi-product Web3 ecosystem. I defined product vision, launched NFT staking, token utilities, and community-driven platforms, while building internal teams and guiding vendor relationships.
Alongside that, I’ve worked extensively as a creative and UX consultant for global agencies and enterprise clients. I was part of a Canadian team vetted by Apple to help execute quarterly product launches — collaborating out of Cupertino on digital production, UI, and localized content for their global marketing communications team.
Through agencies like McCann Craft, Bursting Silver, Bond Marketing, Jan Kelley, and Klick Health, I’ve delivered UX strategy, digital execution, and creative direction for a wide range of industries.
In parallel, I’ve been deeply immersed in Web3 as an independent product advisor and DeFi strategist — contributing to ecosystems I’m directly invested in. From refining staking UX to guiding token utility and DAO onboarding flows, I bring strategic clarity to projects where adoption hinges on trust, culture, and fast iteration.
I’ve also led UX research and design for complex platforms — including NRG Energy’s credit management tools, WeRise (a union-focused platform used across North America), and launched innovative fintech products like Motus Bank and Canada’s first digital mortgage pre-approval experience for Meridian Credit Union.
