Experience
A Career Where Insight Meets Imagination
With a foundation in design, strategy, and operations, I bring the breadth and depth to shape not only the product, but also the culture, team, and business itself.
My career spans the full spectrum of design, from visual and UX to service design and organizational systems. Each chapter has broadened my perspective and expanded my toolkit, giving me a uniquely holistic view of how great experiences are conceived, built, and scaled.
With a foundation in design, strategy, and operations, I lead cross-functional teams and create the conditions for impactful creative work to thrive.
This multidisciplinary journey allows me to flex between craft and strategy, between systems and storytelling. It’s a strength I bring into every role: the ability to see the big picture, connect the dots across disciplines, and ensure cohesion from inception to delivery.
