With 7+ years of product design experience across apps and connected wearables, I lead design with a systems mindset, balancing strategy, craft, and collaboration to drive impact at scale.

Alongside my core work, I actively explore AI through prompt design and hands-on experimentation, using it as a creative and problem-solving partner.

I believe the best design doesn’t ask for attention. It earns trust, creates clarity, and quietly improves people’s lives.
