03 / About

A designer with production instincts.

I’ve spent most of my career designing and improving digital experiences—getting close to users, shaping workflows in Figma and working alongside product managers, developers and stakeholders.

A career break took me into manufacturing, where I rose to Production Manager. It strengthened the way I lead, solve problems and deliver under pressure. The creative itch never left; now I’m bringing that sharper operational perspective back to design.
