ABOUT
ABOUT
One thing that has defined my career from the start: I'm hard to put into one bucket. My skills and experience transcend the classic designer profile.
Spending all day working in Figma bores me - instead I get excited about untangling fuzzy questions, bring clarity to complex processes and breaking down silos.
I'm a teamplayer by nature and I've done my best work in projects that allow me to combine my experience in service and product design with my strong sense for business.
Outside of work I spend my days writing about design, mentoring career-switchers and creating things with my hands.
