Strategist. Builder. Designer. Leader. Creator.

I’m a product design and UX leader focused on turning complexity into clear, usable digital experiences.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led work across digital banking, enterprise platforms, product strategy, UX research, and cross-functional delivery — helping teams move from ambiguity to aligned execution.
My background spans award-recognized fintech work for Meridian / Motusbank, enterprise UX for platforms like NRG ePic and WeRise, and product leadership in emerging technology through Blockasset’s multi-product ecosystem.
I’m strongest where products need both strategic thinking and hands-on clarity: complex systems, multiple stakeholders, operational constraints, and a high bar for usability.

I also bring zero-to-one product perspective from Web3 and emerging tech — useful in fast-moving environments where trust, onboarding, and user behavior matter.
Across startup, agency, and enterprise environments, I help teams simplify complexity, improve usability, and move meaningful digital products forward.

Remote, hybrid, and in studio.
