About
Strategy first. Details always.
What I do
I shape product narratives, build visual systems, prototype flows, and translate design direction into responsive front-end experiences.
How I work
I prefer small, focused cycles: define the promise, sketch the system, test the interaction, and refine until the work feels inevitable.
