ABOUT ME

I’m a Product Design Lead focused on connecting design decisions to real user behavior, business goals and measurable impact.

I lead design initiatives end-to-end, from framing the problem and defining the product direction to validating solutions and supporting implementation. I work closely with Product, Technology and Business to turn ambiguity into clear decisions and create alignment across teams.

I’m especially interested in complex digital ecosystems, e-commerce and AI-powered products — and in helping teams build stronger design practices, clearer decision-making and better product outcomes.
