About
I'm a hybrid UI/UX designer & engineer. Currently, I lead product design at Osmo AI, designing tools for AI scent design and management. Previously, I've designed AI for enterprise data analytics at Seek AI (acquired by IBM in June 2025) and briefly redesigned an agentic AI tool for finance at Endex. I excel at managing an end-to-end design process and cross-functional communication.
