Principal Product Designer
I’m a Principal Product Designer focused on simplifying complex systems and shaping product direction through interaction design and product strategy.
My work centers on product architecture, AI-driven workflows, and scalable design systems that help teams navigate complexity and build coherent products.
Previously I helped define platform UX strategy at Memo, designed large-scale workflow automation systems at Property Meld, and contributed to marketing automation products at SendGrid, combining my background in software development with product design leadership.
I’m particularly interested in how systems thinking and narrative framing can clarify complex products and align teams around a shared direction.
