More me
Over 16 years of experience accelerating UX departments and maturity while delivering data-driven products to your business and users.
I've always been interested in finding better ways to work, and AI has become a meaningful part of that. I use it to get from 0 to 1 quickly, explore and adjust ideas with less development effort, and spend more time applying judgment and taste to the problems that matter.
My career has taken me through console games, mobile games, research platforms, SEO tools, emergency response software, and more. Every industry works differently, so I've learned to adapt the design process to the product, the people, and the constraints instead of arriving with a rigid formula.
The same applies to leadership. I want designers to become confident, self-sufficient partners who help shape projects from the beginning—not a team that waits downstream for requests.
“Do great work with great people. Have fun doing it.”

What I can help you with
AI-driven workflows
Using AI to save weeks, not just hours, so the team and I can focus more on taste and building the right thing.
Stakeholder & strategic alignment
Turning competing opinions into one plan everyone can build against, with the evidence to keep it funded when priorities shift.
UX leadership & org scaling
Building the department, the rituals and the career paths, so design stops being a bottleneck and starts setting direction.
Complex product design
Dense, data-heavy tools made legible. Taking the parts of a product nobody wants to touch and making them the reason people stay.
Design systems & accessibility
One source of truth across a half-rebuilt product, with accessibility designed in rather than retrofitted at audit time.
Research & insight
Turning thousands of raw feedback records into the handful of arguments that actually move a roadmap, faster than it used to take.
