A Product Designer applying systemic design thinking to solve complex real-world problems — aligning user needs with business goals through research, design systems, and iterative prototyping.
The intersection of design thinking, human needs, and pragmatic execution.
Over the last 8+ years, I've led product design across fintech, sales-ops AI, and design-ops platforms — from early research and validation to high-fidelity delivery and engineering handoff.
Beyond usability, I focus on aligning user needs with business goals — creating scalable solutions through research, design systems, and iterative prototyping. My approach blends strategy with execution: shaping product direction, validating through participatory methods, and ensuring every design decision delivers long-term impact.

An evolving toolkit — half craft, half AI orchestration.
AI Tools
Claude
My go-to tool for execution — turning research and direction into tangible outputs.
ChatGPT
Used for language correction, command refinements, and learning more about topics. Great language skills make it perfect for first-level research.
NotebookLM
Creates a curated source of truth — provides summarized information that I then feed into Claude for execution.
Perplexity
My choice for deep, citation-backed research when I need credible sources and nuanced perspectives.
Figma Make
Used for rapidly generating design explorations and prototypes — accelerates the ideation phase right inside my design workflow.
Copilot Agents
Used for orchestrating multi-step agentic workflows — automating repetitive design ops and complex task chains end-to-end.
My AI
Workflow.
These tools combine in a deliberate chain — each chosen for what it does best.
