And I believe good design should feel inevitable, not labored. The best experiences solve problems people did not know how to articulate.
That tension between strategy and instinct is where the interesting work lives. Looking to collaborate with teams that care deeply, question everything, and do not take themselves too seriously.

My Experience
My Experience
How my background informs my work
I came into product design from automotive, which trained me to think in systems, sweat the details, and design for longevity rather than the next release. That sensibility has carried through everything since, from fintech at scale to running my own agency across four industries.
I now also train AI models on design best practices, which has sharpened how I think about craft. It has pushed my freelance work toward clients who care about polish, the ones who understand that defaulting to AI output without taste or intention produces something that looks like everything else.
I am interested in the problem that is quietly arriving, and I am solving for it one deliberate decision at a time.

How my background influences my work
I design end-to-end B2B and B2C experiences grounded in my background in automotive design and quality work. That foundation taught me to value precision, systems thinking, and the details that build trust and long-term value. I carry this craft-driven sensibility into every product, balancing user needs, business goals, and scalable systems while embracing the future of design.
