About Me

I’m a UX/UI designer with over a decade of experience turning complex ideas into intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. Whether it’s simplifying workflows or designing interfaces that build trust, I focus on creating products that are both functional and meaningful.

Currently at Flint Group, I lead the design and execution of digital initiatives from concept through delivery. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and design—ensuring every experience not only looks great but aligns with business objectives and performs in the real world.

Over the years, I’ve built deep expertise in information architecture, wireframing, prototyping, UX research, and human-centered design. I’ve also embraced emerging AI tools and workflows (ChatGPT, Claude, Figma Make, UX Pilot, Lovable) to accelerate ideation, improve efficiency, and strengthen stakeholder alignment.

My experience spans industries including agriculture, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and outdoor—giving me a broad perspective on how to design for different users, constraints, and environments. I’m known for being collaborative, adaptable, and relentlessly focused on improving both the process and the end product.

At the core, I care about clarity, usability, and creating experiences that people actually enjoy using.

On my free time or when I am exploring the world I enjoy flying my drone, enjoy some of my favorite drone shots.
