About

Design leader with a proven track record of guiding cross-functional teams to transform complex problems into intuitive, user-centered solutions.

Product designer, leader, half decent mechanic.

When I’m not uncovering user insights and designing for impact, you can find me modifying cars, crashing linux servers, exploring the world or dreaming about galaxies far far away. Say hi! Let’s chat. Maybe we can make something together.

Core values

Discover and define

Getting to know people in their environment creates a unique opportunity to frame problems.

Validate

I establish conceptual solutions by guiding teams through formal and informal design thinking activities, and validating with users.

Build and measure

I implement experiences, then track and translate user behavior by never ceasing to ask why.
