Senior product designer / solo builder / 6.6 yrs

I design products, then I ship them.

Across consumer apps, B2B SaaS, and shipped mobile products, I turn fuzzy product bets into usable interfaces that can actually make it to market.

// design thinking

The Design Thinking process is the process I follow.

I don't try to reinvent the wheel. I use the proven human-centered loop, then make the output practical enough to design, test, build, and ship.

01

Empathize

Start with the people using the product: their context, pain points, workarounds, and the moment where the product has to earn trust.

02

Define

Turn research into a clear human-centered problem statement, success criteria, and the product behavior that needs to change.

03

Ideate

Explore multiple directions before narrowing down, so the team is choosing from options instead of polishing the first obvious answer.

04

Prototype

Make the idea tangible through flows, states, motion, and coded prototypes when behavior needs to be felt, not just seen.

05

Test

Put the work in front of users, stakeholders, or real product constraints, learn what breaks, and loop back before shipping.
