I’m a product designer with a background in the arts, currently focused on building trustworthy, user-friendly experiences. I care about how design builds confidence, guides decisions, and expresses brand personality.

Fintech is where I’ve been going deep lately, but I’m always interested in design challenges that require clarity, trust, and strong visual systems.
