I’m not just a designer — I’m a builder who thrives in ambiguity, moves with speed, and cares deeply about product-market fit.

I bring structure to messy ideas, clarity to complex systems, and velocity to early-stage teams. Whether you're launching something new or scaling something fragile, I help turn vision into momentum.

What sets me apart:

• I think like a founder — not just what to build, but why, how fast, and what’s good enough for now

• I design with systems thinking and product taste — from strategy down to the smallest interaction

• I ship fast, but I also know when something needs time

• I’m fluent in AI-native workflows and emerging product patterns

• I collaborate well with engineering and execs and advocate for fast loops, strong decisions

If you're building something ambitious and don’t want to wait for “perfect”, we’ll probably work well together.
