UX/UI + Branding + Frontend Dev | AI Tools • Systems Design • Web + Mobile • Figma • React
Summary
I'm a multidisciplinary product designer who thrives at the intersection of UX, brand, and frontend development. With over a decade of experience spanning B2B SaaS, consumer platforms, and immersive installations, I design elegant, scalable solutions grounded in empathy and craft.
My work spans early-stage startups to global brands, with specialties in end-to-end product design (UX/UI, interaction, visual systems), frontend development (React, Next.js, Tailwind), branding and storytelling for digital experiences, and AI-integrated workflows and emerging tech.
I've helped build everything from internal enterprise platforms to AI-driven health tools, from spatial installations to browser-based IDEs. Whether I'm in Figma or VS Code, I move fluidly from idea to implementation.
