> Product Designer | Turning bold startup ideas into intuitive products.

I'm fascinated by why people think, feel, and act the way they do. I bring that curiosity about human behavior into every experience I create as a Product Designer. I approach design with curiosity and empathy, grounded in research and collaboration. Today, I work with early-stage startups - environments with no roadmap, just real problems to solve and a strong vision.

Experience includes:
-Designing MVPs that moved ideas from pitch decks to investor-ready products and helped secure funding.
-Conducting user research to uncover the emotional drivers behind financial behavior for a fintech startup.
-Building flexible design systems that enabled small teams to scale quickly without losing consistency.

To me, great design turns imagination into impact. If you’re building something meaningful and need a thoughtful design partner, let's connect!
