Hello, I'm a Product Designer with over 20 years of UX experience. I thrive in solving complex and ambiguous user problems with designs that delight.

I delve into the psychology of users, asking the right questions to uncover their motivations, pain points, and needs. By blending qualitative insights with quantitative data on user behavior, I gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem and provide clear direction for my team. With this foundation, I collaborate with partners to develop innovative tech solutions that elegantly solve the identified problem and drive measurable business outcomes.
