Good design solves a problem.
Great design moves people and businesses forward.

I bring a people-first perspective to product design — connecting a clear vision with the craft and collaboration it takes to make it real. My focus is on building thoughtful experiences and the teams behind them.

I help teams ask better questions, navigate complexity, and turn ambitious ideas into purposeful products.

I lead with AI in the workflow. At Crunchyroll I championed bringing generative tools into everyday design practice — accelerating research synthesis, concept exploration, and documentation — while keeping human judgment and accountability at the center of every decision.
