About

I'm a Product Design Lead with over 11 years of experience in Silicon Valley, specializing in user-centered design, prototyping, and visual design. I've been both a founding designer and part of an established design team in early-stage startups, thriving in collaborative environments that empower team members to create the best products. I have extensive experience working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Typescript, React, and Elm, and I excel in identifying opportunities for product development and design technology integration.
