I have been designing exceptional digital experiences for over 20 years, spanning a wide range of applications and industries. My expertise lies in creating innovative solutions for SaaS platforms, as well as products powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence.
As a creative thinker, I am deeply passionate about design thinking, championing user-centered approaches, and highlighting the impact of elegant and functional design. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, consistently pushing boundaries to deliver intuitive and visually compelling user experiences.
I’m at my best when fully immersed in my craft, with music or a podcast fueling my focus. At the same time, I value stepping out of that creative zone to collaborate with teams during brainstorming sessions or to mentor and inspire fellow designers.
For me, progress—regardless of pace—is what drives innovation and growth.
I love design, family, sun, and living a healthy lifestyle (with a half-dozen donuts thrown in).
