About

Who I am

I’ve always liked making things and understanding how they work. That curiosity is what eventually pulled me into design, not just the visual side, but the way products behave, communicate, and fit into people’s lives.

Over the years I’ve worked across fintech, consumer products, identity, and messaging, in environments that ranged from small teams to large-scale products. What I enjoy most is taking something complex or undefined and giving it structure, clarity, and a sense of intent.

I care a lot about the details that shape how a product feels: interaction, motion, hierarchy, language, and the small decisions that often go unnoticed when they work well. I also like getting close to the real product, prototyping and building enough to understand how an idea actually behaves beyond static screens.

Outside of work, I’m usually listening to music, training, travelling, or experimenting with something new. I’m always interested in people who care deeply about what they make and why they make it.

Approach

How I think & work

Better together

I believe the best work comes from working together. I enjoy sharing ideas, learning from different perspectives, and building on each other's thinking. For me, collaboration is what makes both the process and the outcome better.

Find the clarity

I enjoy working on complex products. The challenge is understanding what really matters and making it easier to understand, without losing what makes it valuable.

The little things

Small decisions can completely change how a product feels. Typography, spacing, motion, and interactions all contribute to an experience that feels considered.

Make it real

I don't like stopping at static designs. Building and prototyping help me test ideas, understand how things behave, and discover problems I wouldn't notice in Figma.
